Built for Bryn Mawr women

You had a baby at Bryn Mawr Hospital, the six-week checkup went fine, and someone mentioned your iron was "a little low." Take a supplement, they said. Months later, the exhaustion has not budged, there is hair on the bathroom floor every morning, and you are reading this at 11 PM because you cannot switch your brain off even though you are wrecked.

That low iron often sits in the ferritin gray zone, roughly 15 to 30 ng/mL. A standard blood panel can read as normal in that range, since ferritin isn't always part of routine bloodwork, so the number looks fine even while you feel anything but. The women who book with us are usually a few months postpartum or have spent years losing iron to heavy periods. On paper, the labs look okay; the body tells a different story.

Local OBs from Bryn Mawr are good at spotting low ferritin, but almost none can put you on an IV in the office. Oral iron is a three-to-six-month project, assuming your stomach tolerates cramps and constipation. A hospital infusion suite means blocking off half a day, timing it around the Blue Route at rush hour, hunting for parking, then sitting in a waiting room, all of it with an infant in tow.

YOUR AT-HOME IRON INFUSION, STEP BY STEP

01
Pre-Visit Consult & Labs (24–72 hours prior)
Before we schedule anything, we look at a CBC and ferritin drawn in the last 90 days. If you don’t have recent labs, we'll set up the order so you're not chasing paperwork later.
Pre-Visit Consult & Labs (24–72 hours prior)
02
Confirmed Booking
Pick the 90-minute window that fits your day. Book before 11:00 AM and there's a good chance we can reach you across Bryn Mawr that same afternoon; otherwise, the next open slot is usually the following day.
Confirmed Booking
03
RN Arrival
Your nurse shows up with the Venofer®, the clinical-grade IV kit, monitoring equipment, and everything else needed to set up a sterile station in your home. You don't need to prep anything beforehand.
RN Arrival
04
Clinical Setup (10 minutes)
A quick round of vitals, an allergy check, and a baseline assessment. Your RN talks you through each part so you know what the next hour looks like before the drip starts.
Clinical Setup (10 minutes)
05
The Infusion (30–60 minutes)
The iron goes in on a slow, steady drip while your nurse watches your response the whole way through. Answer emails, stretch out on the sofa, feed the baby, or just scroll. Most patients feel nothing during the infusion itself.
The Infusion (30–60 minutes)
06
Post-Infusion Watch (15 minutes)
One more vitals check, a reminder to hydrate, and a short observation window so your RN can rule out any delayed reaction before she packs up.
Post-Infusion Watch (15 minutes)
07
Clean Up & Plan
Every bit of clinical waste leaves with your nurse. You're left with a written handout covering when to recheck your labs and what your follow-up should look like.

ABOUT VENOFER® AND HOW WE KEEP YOU SAFE

Venofer® (Iron Therapy IV) is iron sucrose, the same IV iron your care team at Bryn Mawr Hospital or Lankenau Medical Center would reach for, and the standard used by hospital systems nationwide. Because it goes straight into the bloodstream, it sidesteps the stomach cramps and nausea that make oral iron a non-starter for so many women.

Safety starts with your bloodwork. We won't infuse without a CBC and ferritin from the past 90 days, because that tells us you're actually iron-deficient and rules out iron overload, which is a real risk if someone gets IV iron they don't need. From there, a few firm rules keep every home visit safe:

  • Active infection or fever at time of visit = immediate rescheduling
  • Known iron overload conditions (hemochromatosis) = not a candidate
  • Certain pregnancy stages are screened out for safety
  • Real-time physician backup available during every home visit
  • RNs trained in adverse-reaction protocols and carry emergency supplies

Real Stories From Bryn Mawr

★★★★★

Two-month-old at home. A half-day at a hospital was never happening.
Between feedings and no childcare, blocking off an afternoon for an infusion suite just wasn't realistic. DripGym's RN was at my kitchen table by 10 AM and I never left the house. Ferritin moved from 21 to 68 in eight weeks.

-Kate, Bryn Mawr
★★★★★

Bryn Mawr Hospital was ten minutes away. Still a half-day ask.
I delivered at Bryn Mawr Hospital and my six-week ferritin was in the low teens. Even that short a drive meant parking, check-in, and a waiting room with a newborn and no childcare. DripGym was at my house in 48 hours and the whole visit was under 90 minutes.

-Meredith, Bryn Mawr
★★★★★

Normal labs, but I felt awful.
Turned out my iron was the problem. My ferritin was in the low 20s, and everything I read said that could still leave me exhausted. DripGym's physician looked at the same labs, agreed it was worth treating, and I had a Saturday morning infusion at home. Energy back in about ten days.

-Priya, Rosemont

Questions Bryn Mawr Patients Ask

A single at-home Venofer® session runs $400, and there's a buy-5-get-1-free package if you're likely to need a course of infusions. It covers the Venofer® itself, your RN's visit, all IV supplies, the physician's review of your labs, and the follow-up guidance afterward. We take HSA and FSA cards. Most insurers won't reimburse mobile IV iron unless you have documented anemia that meets their medical-necessity bar.

Venofer® is a prescription form of iron (iron sucrose) that's delivered by IV, so the iron enters your bloodstream directly instead of routing through your gut. No stomach cramps, no nausea, no waiting on absorption. Most people start noticing a difference within two to four weeks.

For most patients, Venofer® goes smoothly. If side effects show up, they're usually mild: a metallic taste, a light headache, maybe a touch of nausea. Serious allergic reactions are uncommon, but because they're possible, your RN monitors you throughout the visit rather than leaving you alone.

This is aimed at women with confirmed low ferritin (generally under 30 ng/mL) who are experiencing fatigue, hair loss, and brain fog, especially if oral iron hasn't agreed with them or hasn't worked fast enough. You'll need recent CBC and ferritin results, and our supervising physician signs off on every case before we book you.

Book before 11:00 AM, and we can often get to you the same afternoon; otherwise, you're usually looking at the next day or two. You choose a 90-minute arrival window that fits your day, slot it into the school-day quiet hours, or line it up for after your commute home. We cover Bryn Mawr plus the surrounding blocks in Rosemont and Haverford.

Yes, with your OB's clearance. Postpartum iron deficiency is one of the most common reasons our Main Line patients book. We coordinate with your delivering hospital when needed, and we work from your existing postpartum labs.

The whole corridor. We also regularly visit homes in Rosemont, Haverford, Ardmore, Wayne, Radnor, Gladwyne, and Narberth. If you're anywhere along Route 30 or a short hop off it and you're not sure you're in range, just ask when you call; chances are we already cover you.

Almost always. If your Main Line Health OB or primary care doctor drew a CBC and ferritin in the last 90 days, that's usually everything our physician needs; no repeat blood draw required.
