Hello dear,
Iron tablets can cause dark stools,but not pain on urination.
Your symptoms are most likely from urinary tract infection(normal urine test one week back cannot rule out infection today).So it is better to repeat urine routine examination,and take antibiotics if needed.
Meanwhile,you take plenty of oral fluids.
Taking enough green leafy veges and fruits,dates etc can pick up your hemoglobin level.
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
