Hi mns,

Basically got bloods done 8 weeks ago. Iron. 7. Ferritin. 9. Hgb 115. Prescribed Iron. Been taking them most days but forgetting a few. Heavy periods 6months postpartum. 1 litre blood lost at delivery.

Bloods retested yesterday. Called today and told to stop. Levels from receptionist (all I could ask before she's thinking will you go away) we're. Iron 52!!!! Ferritin. Unsure didn't tell me as she couldnt see. Hgb 138. Trans saturation 88.5%. Retest in 3 months. I don't want to spend 3 months waiting anything I can do to help. Any tips? Or should I be concerned?

I can't say I feel any different from normal/low levels/high levels. Generally tired with a 6month old. Lol.

Sorry for the whole rant.
TIA

The ferritin number is the important one.

What's your new ferritin number?

Can you see the number on your NHS app? Mine shows my test results.
