It may take 30-90 days for iron deficiency to get resolved by diet. However, if you have a blood disorder you may need regular medications to keep up the iron levels.

I am 15 weeks and 1 day pregnant. My doctor prescribed iron and calcium tablets, but I experience severe nausea and vomiting when taking iron supplements. Could you please suggest an alternative iron supplement that is easier on my stomach? My hemoglobin is 11.2. Please find my report attached for reference.
