I've been trying to improve my iron levels through diet and supplements but I guess my levels are still below the normal range. My Dr's nurse called tonight and left a VM about my CBC labs from today and mentioned that I need to start infusions next week.
How often did you get infusions? Any side effects?

Man I can't remember how often I got them. I want to say it's was twice a week. It took a few hours each time and I kept having to take half days. It was long and boring but no side effects. There were little tvs to watch but I'd bring a book and snacks if I were you. They did bring me drinks- water or juice. It was worth it though because i did bleed quite a bit in labor and would've had to have a blood transfusion during labor otherwise.

@travellingbee: thanks for the info! I hope I don't need to miss even more time from work.

@sarac: I am not sure and I will have to ask on Tuesday. I only have online access to view my "normal" lab results!
