Yeah mine were 9 also and have since started taking tabs more reg but only the Iron & vitamin c ones, the others go straight thru

, but remember not to take them at the same time as calcium (I guess also not with milk) as the calcium can block the absorbtion of the iron. I also talked with my mw about my levels & she said it is to be expected at this end of the preg but still need to try to get them up a bit]]> Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:41:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23555&PID=581205&title=serum-ferritin-levels-iron-stores#581205 <![CDATA[serum ferritin levels (iron stores) : Danaj are you sure that is your...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23555&PID=581055&title=serum-ferritin-levels-iron-stores#581055 Author: busymum

Danaj are you sure that is your ferritin level? There is iron itself and then there is iron stores (ferritin)... my iron is at 120+ as well.]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:07:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23555&PID=581055&title=serum-ferritin-levels-iron-stores#581055 <![CDATA[serum ferritin levels (iron stores) : Yep, it's 20-200.

Yep, it's 20-200. I"m at 126 which I thought was odd as i'm vego. No supplements either!!

Actually, I think my MW said 20-300 but I could have that wrong. ]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:55:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23555&PID=581033&title=serum-ferritin-levels-iron-stores#581033 <![CDATA[serum ferritin levels (iron stores) : Mine were either 3 or 6 - and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23555&PID=581000&title=serum-ferritin-levels-iron-stores#581000 Author: emz

Mine were either 3 or 6 - and my m/w forgot for 3 weeks to tell me to take the iron tablets

Mine haven't been above 15 since I have had blood tests done.

Thanks Becks - I tried googling it but it looks like it might be different standards all over the place. But one of the NZ sites also said 20-200 so that must be it.

Andie - ugh 7!! I have never been below 15 before (that I know of). At Christmas I started feeling dizzy, faint, and looking like a ghost so I self-prescribed iron tablets every second day. Two weeks later I still get a reading of 9.1..... tonight the mw called me to tell me to take my tablets every day - the first time I have ever been called about my iron!]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:00:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23555&PID=580958&title=serum-ferritin-levels-iron-stores#580958 <![CDATA[serum ferritin levels (iron stores) : Yup, 17 at the absolute minimum...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23555&PID=580950&title=serum-ferritin-levels-iron-stores#580950 Author: BugTeeny

Yup, 17 at the absolute minimum - but 20 or more is ideal.
Mine was 5

20 or more is good. I can never get to that magic number.

If it's the one I'm thinking of (there's 2 and I'm not sure it's the same one)... Mine was at 7, which is why I've been feeling so very crap... apparently you want it 20 or above. ]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:37:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23555&PID=580927&title=serum-ferritin-levels-iron-stores#580927 <![CDATA[serum ferritin levels (iron stores) : Does anyone know what the usual...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23555&PID=580923&title=serum-ferritin-levels-iron-stores#580923 Author: busymum

Does anyone know what the usual range for this is? Mine was 43 at my first trimester bloods (best ever for any of my pregnancies) and 9.1 today (worst ever)

That seems very, very low!?]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:32:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23555&PID=580923&title=serum-ferritin-levels-iron-stores#580923
