Has anyone had a second IV iron infusion?

I had one at the end of March as all my iron levels were low despite taking ferrous Fumerate daily for 7 months. I am under heamotology for it. I’ve had my bloods done a couple of times since and my HB hasn’t really changed it was 99 before my infusion, and on my blood test last week it was 101.

Most of my results are well in normal range now including my ferritin, it’s just my HB. I had a telephone appointment with my haematologist on Tuesday and they said I need another infusion. I’m just a bit confused as my iron stores are replenished.

plenty of other things can affect ferritin, not just iron stores. There may well be other more subtle stuff that they're looking at and basing their advice on. Why not just ask them?
