12-20

but a lot of people are lower than they realise, if you weren't pregnant and you were at a level 7 - 9, it wouldn't be deemed as a problem, change diet and tablets and you're on your way.

Mine has been low a good many times, only been taken twice into hospital but never had a blood transfusion. I was lucky huh

Thanks guys, explains why im tired then asmine was 9.5 but glad to know thats its not too low. I suspect it has dropped since my last blood test though as that was 7 weeks ago so ill be requesting another one asap.

Let us know how u get on Michelle x

i was just under 8 when i gave birth and they told me it was very likely id need a blood transfusion. - I was lucky and didnt in the end..I was very weak and very very VERY pale.

How could anyone survive on 5.5????????

[happy-chick]

Fantastic news hun, thought it must have been a mistake bet your so relieved!

 

[Urchin]

Aw after all that!

Glad you're OK

 

[DebbieM]

That's fab news!

Just for the record... my best friend has very severe chrons disease and therefore her iron levels are awful. She has to have iron and blood transfusions on a semi regular basis.

She went through pregnancy last year and although she was very tired, pale and felt awful at times. she had a very healthy baby girl with no problems at all. She is suffering now but that's down to her chrons.
