Answer :

I can’t be specific with my first pregnancy and I really wasn’t sure until I had the test. With the second pregnancy I had bruises from where the IV iron shots had leaked. I knew I was pregnant when the bruise suddenly disappeared. My body was needing the iron and absorbed it right out of my tissue. this was before OTC pregnancy tests.
