Godiva4me Slyfox- When you say your iron level is always 'very high" like, what is your iron level/hemoglobin?
SlyFoxy answer: I'm not sure on that but everytime I had it checked by doctors. I was told I didn't need any vitamins with iron in them due to my iron was high. I don't know what they mean. It's not a dangerous level but just stays at a high level. The doctors have never been worried about my high level in iron because it is good if get pregnant again. When got pregnant long time ago my iron level never dropped at all stayed up to the same level.

Godiva4me also said: The reason I ask is that I would think if it was abnormally high a doctor would have ordered more b/w for a condition called Hemochromatosis where your body absorbs too much iron, which can be detrimental to various organs. Maybe you can call the last doctor that did b/w and get a copy of the results. I have started getting copies of any b/w, tests I have done just for my own knowledge and records.

Godiva4me when I go back to RE for 2nd IUI if don't get a BFP here in a few days I will have bloodwork again and ask them about my iron level to see if still high but I've had high iron level for years. Will find out by RE about it here in few days unless get a BFP if so will see new doctor and get them to tell me.

Godiva4me said: All that being said, I had been taking Target brand of prenatals and have minimal to no side effects. My RE prescribed Primacare-One, which has additional things such as DHEA. Since miscarrying, I have been taking the Target ones, but guess when I start to do FET, I'll switch back to the prescription ones. Another tip to not having side effects is take the prenatal before you go to bed!

Good luck to you, I hope your get your BFP very soon![/quote]

Godiva4me I sure hope we get our BFP very soon. Going to ask for a copy of bloodwork when go back to RE unless something changes.. Not sure how to ask but will ask about copy.

My DH asked me earlier what I asking you ladies?
I told him about the question on the prenatal vitamins and he said to me honey wait til we go back to our RE an asked him about this because I don't want you to purchase something that may harm your body since trying to get pregant. He don't want me to mess up. He beginning to be more watchful since he's a lot involved in this stuff. He been making me eatting better too. I was going to purchase a small bottle of folic acid an he told me to put them back on the shelf. Going to listen to him..

Thanks for all the help from all of you. to everyone...
