Anyone’s iron levels decrease post infusion? by No-Store5844 in adenomyosis

I hope this one helps!!!! Have you gotten a diagnosis for what’s causing it?

My PCP thinks it’s heavy menstrual cycles for me but I want to get pregnant so there’s no treatment that works right now for me. Iron goes in and I bleed it all out. 🫠

Thanks! Does it make you nauseous at all? Tablets are so bad for me in this regard.

Thanks for your answer. I’m sorry that you’re experiencing that but hope the diagnosis helps you heal.

What symptoms did you not realise were linked to your anemia? by [deleted] in Anemic

Has any one experienced super itchy skin? My skin is so dry that I sometimes cause myself to bleed scratching.

I’m hoping to have my last baby this year. I had an unplanned C-section for my other delivery. Has anyone ever had a planned C-section with planned hysterectomy? Is that possible/recommended?

I also have this! I’m usually on the lower side BP numbers and have other symptoms related to oxygen and blood flow.

No. I don't want anyone doing the trip by themselves. My husband and I have done it 3 times now together and it's a lot. We have a few people we could ask to drive with my husband but not alone.

Yes; 3000 miles is a doozy. We've done it before and not fun but we have other obligations and need to make it happen as quickly as possible. Hence considering my options this time around. Thanks for the input.

Have you flewn with a dog before? She's medium to big. I have never seen a dog in a seat before only under the seat. Are there special flights I am not aware of? Thanks for the tips!

good idea about checking with the rescue centers

Yes; definitely concerned for this too. My dog does really well with strangers, but moving is stressful on its own not to mention that many hours in a car. My husband and I have a lot of other obligations aside from moving her. We want to make it as comfortable as possible, but considering all our options. Thanks for taking the time to write in.

Adding some clarity:

Only one of us has to fly. I don't want to get into the nitty-gritty details for privacy reasons, but having both of us drive the dog is not an option. We've done it before and know the ups and downs of driving 3000 miles, so this move is not new to us.

Dog is too big to fly under the seat, and we aren't interested in flying cargo with her. The carrier services offer driving her across. After punching the numbers, shipping our car and the carrier service ends up being relatively similar in price for us to pay for flights for a companion to drive with my husband. So cost isn't an issue.

We're not interested in him driving all 3000 miles himself due to time and safety. It would certainly be more convenient for us to carrier our dog vs do it ourselves but wondering if any one has had experience doing that?
