IM 20

In feb this year i found out that i am anemic. The doctor have put me on iron supplements for 3months, a month after that i have had another full blood count and ferritin test done. The result had no change so the doctor told me that he is going to put me on the supplements again for 3 months, if it hasn't change then i will get Iv iron therapy.The doc said the only problem is heavy periods, cause i was for a gastroscopy and a colonoscopy and they found nothing

My question is....

What exactly will they be doing with iv iron therapy?

how is it perform?

how long does it take?

How many times will I have to go a week?

How will they know if you are allergic to it?

And then can they take a CBC(complete blood count) while you're still on the supplements?

Won't the iron supplement interfere with the CBC?

And how does it work, cause what i understand are if you take a CBC while on iron supplement, your iron will be of course be higher, can you plz correct me?
