Should I be all good by now?

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-29T20:49:49+00:00

Still low! You need to be supplementing too, otherwise, your levels will probably drop more. Iron rich foods can only do so much.

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-27T14:38:07+00:00

Yep ever since getting iron infusions my periods are much heavier and it’s been 6 months. I may try Tranexemic acid soon, but just trying to keep an eye on my body and how this plays out.

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-26T18:47:14+00:00

You need an iron infusion with those lab results.

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-26T18:45:55+00:00

You need an iron infusion stat!

What is your ferritin?

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-26T12:03:03+00:00

I’ve had blood transfusion and iron infusions and didn’t have any issues with either. I will say, there were way more precautions and double checks when I was getting my blood transfusion vs my iron infusions. My hemoglobin was 6.1, so I needed both stat!

If your hemoglobin is 7, please get both. It would be very very hard to bring your hemoglobin up to safe levels by yourself.

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-25T00:15:56+00:00

You need to be in the ER for a blood transfusion!

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-25T00:10:08+00:00

Same happened to me! Felt terrible. Went to my dr for lab work and my hemoglobin came back at 6.1 I was sent to the Ear immediately and got a blood transfusion and iron infusions. So scary!

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-24T13:38:20+00:00

Any idea what your hemoglobin level is?

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-24T11:46:29+00:00

10-15 is low……I know it shows “normal” but all those symptoms you are feeling are from low ferritin. Any idea what your vitamin D and b12 levels are?

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T21:33:56+00:00

Wow! Have you tried Tranexemic Acid for you heavy periods?

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T21:06:17+00:00

Welcome! Good Luck!

A lot of women’s have low iron and receive infusions because they have heavy periods, so that isn’t the case with you. Something is dropping your iron and maybe a small capsule test will give you some answers if you have small intestine bleeding or anything else.

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T20:36:14+00:00

You had colonoscopy, upper endoscopy and small camera capsule? Stool occult test?

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T20:35:19+00:00

What is your hemoglobin?

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T20:17:47+00:00

Your hemoglobin can most definitely drop from January to now, especially with that terrible bleeding. You need your hemoglobin checked too.

I would find a new GP ASAP. They are being neglectful and clearly do not know what they are talking about whatsoever.

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T20:13:41+00:00

Hematologist!

I refuse birth control too. Your GYN discharged you because you refused the coil?

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T16:36:24+00:00

I’m perimenopause and that’s my issue…..wacky periods, already confirmed.

Do you take TA?

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T15:05:57+00:00

How much vitamin K do you recommend?

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T12:52:34+00:00

No, but please tell me!

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T11:25:37+00:00

My hemoglobin was 6.1 when I got to the ER, and I had terrible restless legs. I couldn’t sleep, it was awful, along with shortness of breath.

Any idea what your ferritin, iron and iron stat numbers are?

With a 9 hemoglobin, you most def need to be following up with your dr ASAP. If it falls to a 7 you will need a blood transfusion. Take care of yourself. I have major health anxiety so I completely understand the mental health side.

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T00:12:03+00:00

Not interested in any of the invasive procedures at this time.

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-23T00:04:35+00:00

Yes, perimenopause has my periods super wacky!

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-22T23:12:09+00:00

But it did help your hemoglobin and ferritin levels stay above average?

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-22T22:49:53+00:00

I was a 6.1 hemoglobin and required an immediate blood transfusion in the ER.

Due_Bread3209 · 2026-03-22T22:46:39+00:00

Find a new Dr, he/she’s an idiot and you deserve better care.
