Depends.: It depends on the cause of the anemia. If you're truly iron deficient we usually don't check labs again until a few months after starting the iron supplement. Your doctor is the best person to tell you how long you need to be on the medicine, however.

Agree with Dr. D: You may ask your doctor if you are a candidate for intravenous iron. Such an infusion can replace all of the missing iron in one treatment. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
