I need advice I just got my labs back

6 years ago I was having iron infusions about every 3~4 months until my blood doc said I am stable and I don’t need them anymore and to just see my primary care doc if I have further concerns. I had many concerns as I cannot supplement my iron with diet or vitamins because my body doesn’t process iron well so I was concerned that it would slowly deplete again and I would be back to ground zero.

After that I didn’t have any doc for a while because of insurance and money things. This year I got a primary and did blood work in feb. My iron was 40, ferritin was 15, hemoglobin was 13, and saturation was 11. I am unsure if these were good numbers or not. last week I tested again and my iron is 31, hemo is 12 and saturation is 8. It’s going down pretty fast? Or am I just making a big deal out of it?

Back when I was first dealing with anemia my hemo was really low like 7~8. And docs took it seriously but my hemo is right on the edge of “normal” and I can see that my primary isn’t super concerned.

I need to know if I am over reacting by wanting a blood doc and treatment options. Advice is appreciated!!
