Hi,

Iron levels are measured in 2 levels.

One measurement, which sounds like the one you had, the normal range is 115 to 165. Mine got down to 88 when i was pregnant and the iron tablets made me sick so i ended up having to have an iron infusion, which involved 7 hours on a drip having iron given to me and a day in adult special care unit.

The other level is a low number, im not sure what the normal range for that level is but mine was extremely low at 7.

So my levels were 88 and 7 and that apparently was far too low and needed iron supplements but because they made me sick i then HAD to have an iron infusion.

I hope this makes sense and helps you.
