I have been referred for an endometrial ablation, but my Hb came back as 9.7 and I have been told that I am unfit for surgery. My Hb needs to be 12 for surgery. For me, 9.7 is not too bad a test result, it's been into the 8's which is why I'm having the surgery.
The hospital want me to go in for an iron infusion, but I have just started a month long placement for a job which could lead onto a permanent role next year. I don't want to take a sick day when I actually feel fine. Is it possible for me to get my haemoglobin upto 12 if I persevere with iron tabs? I have only been on the waiting list for a week, and ideally would like a September operation.
