I'm 15 months postpartum and my son is still nursing. Last June my Ferritin levels were 77 and as of a month ago they dropped to 17. I've been feeling like garbage and just thought it was due to hormones and lack of sleep. My doctor says everything is "normal" aside

From low Vitamin D. I just started taking an iron supplement once a day. Is there anything else I can do?

My period returned in December and has been really heavy since then. I brought this up to my doctor too and it seems like they just chalk everything up to things rebalancing postpartum. So frustrating.
