Low iron

I had an iron infusion on Wednesday last week but I don’t feel any different. Still feeling pretty sick/weak and dizzy everyday. I was told that I should feel better within a few days. Has anyone else had it and not noticed a difference?

Jelly discharge 5 weeks pp

Just shy of 5 weeks pp and past two days have had very thick jelly discharge, similar to what a mucus plug looks like. Is this normal? Yesterday the first bit was pink tinged but after that it’s been clear/egg white. No smell either.
