'stress dosing' iron supplements during period

[Guest guest]

i thought 'stress dosing' seemed an appropriate way to ask if others

do this with iron supplements prior/during their periods? i know i

lose alot of iron during mine since they are soooo very heavy.

would adding some help or does the 100-200mg daily of elemental iron

take care of needs throughout the month? if anyone has 'stress dosed'

too, how much of an increase and when? thanks!

I'm not sure about " stress dosing " iron..which I probably would not do

becaues it can be toxic at certain levels..but a thought, how is your

thyroid? This can be a cause for such heavy periods. I found that with

thyroid help and progesterone in addition to my adrenal stuff...mine

got a lot lighter.
