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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-infusions-during-pregnancy#post-2187628 Sat, 23 May 2015 01:41:01 +0000 autumnlove 2187628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>How often did you get infusions? Any side effects? </p>
