    I've found Spatone very good as an iron suppliment. You can get it at health food stores- has quite good absorbability (is that a word?!) and in juice you dont really taste it, and doesnt tend to have some of the side effects of other iron suppliments. It is expensive, though!

    thanks for that everyone....currently I'm taking Fefol and Ferrer-Grad C but it doesn't seem to be doing a great deal. So I will talk with the OB about the other supplements that have been mentioned. I already have a very good diet as I have always been big on nutrition but it doesn't seem to be enough at the moment.
    thanks again, Hol

    I am also low in iron and my OB said to take Ferroliquid which basically is iron in liquid form that is very easily absorbed. I was told to take 20ml a day but you do have to take it through a straw otherwise you will stain your teeth bright yellow - great look! I was feeling very faint and extremely tired before starting this and it has worked really well.

    Good luck!
