Had 28 week bloods done Wed afternoon, then fri got letter from GP asking me to go in (didn't get letter till evening as out at work). In my logical mind i'm guessing it's iron or platelets (had low platelets last time round) but worrying a bit as the results came in so quick? (must have sent letter thursday from gp, bloods done at hospital)

Any thoughts?

Don't panic yet. I had recommendation from hospital within 2 days to collect iron tablets from GP after 28 week bloods

I'd put my last gingerbread man on it being iron. Comes back straightaway now. I had a blood test in the afternoon and the results were in the next morning by 9am. And yes, I was anaemic and they said the iron test is so quick they send it back immediately.

thanks howabout, i wouldn't be suprised if it was iron, been shattered and bit breathless, jst the speed un-nerved me. Results normally take a week!
