Trying to Know What to Expect
I recently saw my gyno and pushed for an iron check. It looks like my instincts were good and I’d love help making sense of what I’m looking at and what I should be doing/advocating for. And yes, I will absolutely be talking to my doctor but I want to know what I should be advocating for :)
My Iron is a 33 (test says low end of normal)
My Iron Saturation is at 9 (test says low and has an alert)
My Ferritin is at a 17.
On a scale of diet change, to supplement, to transfusion, where am I falling? I want to make sure I advocate for what I need
