I' ve started taking spinach, or brocoli in meals and dry fruits along with the iron supplements.So things should improve quickly.

Once again thanks all of you for your support and help.
charu PreggoMom replied. Hi,
In order to absorb iron you need good vitamin C too along with the above mentioned veggies and dry fruits. So add lemon & citrus fruits to your diet.
