Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Hi everyone, I had my monthly check up today. My OB says I am anemic and gave me an rx for iron supplements----FeSO4 to be exact. I am just curious, in trying to save some cash, is this the same as your basic iron supplements that you can purchase over the counter???? I hate to have this filled at the pharmacy and have to pay a hefty copay if I can get the same thing right off the shelf. It is for 325mg 2x daily. If anyone knows, I would greatly appreciate it. On a lighter note, everything is picture perfect. My weight gain is right on track for what they like to see. He said they want to see at least 10 pounds within 20 weeks. I have gained 11 or 12 and am 23 weeks. I have been feeling great. The baby is moving constantly and I really enjoyed hearing her heartbeat again today. It's so exciting!! My OB insists I do the glucola though. I tried to let him see the error in his ways, but I know he has had other RNY patients, so I guess they tolerated the test okay. Myself, I am scared. I should have pushed the issue a little more, but I guess that's not my personality. Thanks!
