Is iron infusion safe during early pregnancy? or is it agent/dose specific? neither my hematologist nor my mfm can answer. please help clarify. thx!

Need more info: Are you anemic? What is your ferritin level? What is the hurry that you would consider IV iron when taking it orally may be just as effective. If you need iron supplementation, taking it my mouth is the better option. IV infusion is generally safe.
