Anyone found out they're anemic?

Question

If so what were your numbers?  I was at work and busy when the doctor's office called and didn't ask but I was told my levels were a 9.8 versus a 12 where I should be.  I just want to know is that extremely low or just borderline low.  I will definitely ask at my upcoming appt.  Just curious.

Answer

Mine was low, somewhere around 10 but that was with me already taking iron pills. I ended up needing to take vitamin C as well because the vitamin C helps your body retain the iron better. Along with making sure I have an iron rich diet with greens, nuts, etc...

Answer

I’m a medical assistant in OBGYN and I can tell you that the doctor I work with would consider that pretty low and would start you on iron supplements.

Answer

I had low iron with both of my pregnancies. 
I don’t remember my numbers but my dr called me in prescriptions for iron pills the same day I found out it was low.
If you’re dr wasn’t super concerned I’d say they will probably just start you on iron pills at your next appt
