I had lowish iron at my 28 week blood test (105µmol/L) so the midwife and I decided on a course of iron injections since I have problems swallowing pills. I had a series of 3 shots, each with 4mL of the iron solution - so a total of 12mL. I am not sure of the strength of it. I had repeat bloods last week at 38 weeks and my iron is now 91µmol/L- it has gone down!

Where did my iron go?! Is there any point to doing more injections if I am not absorbing it?
