Can I ask how you upped your iron levels?
Iron supplements specifically 2x 25mg pills/day in the form of iron bisglycinate for about 2-3 months. But I wouldn't recommend you to try it before getting a ferritin test since some people have a genetic disorder called hemochromatosis and for these people, it would be dangerous to take iron supplements. Getting a ferritin test that shows you have low ferritin would basically tell you that you A. are iron deficient and B. that you don't have hemochromatosis.
