I keep thinking that perhaps it's not just anemia. My Hb has been around 8 all my life. When I was pregnant it got even lower: down to 6.2. But I started to feel better when it came back up to 7 or so. Could it be that there are other contributing factors causing your fatigue? I hope you find that increasing your iron levels helps. The apricots were recommended to me by my doctor and they work really well. If you can find organic chicken liver, that would be a good source too. If you don't like the taste of it, you can mix it in a meatloaf.

Hope you start feeling better soon.
