yes, but tis always low anyway, should be above 12.5 and mine usually about 10-11, am never allowed to give blood when I go to donate
Am quite excited at the possibility of 3 spa tone a day

I have always had slightly dodgy iron levels, but Ive been almost permanently pregs since 2003 so in the last few years its been much worse. spatone packaging says you can take 2 sachets during pregnancy and from time to time I have had to. Deffo worth talking to your gp about using it - would take box and leaflet in with you if I was you as gps don't always know a great deal about nonprescribed stuff. Good
Luck.
