As my hemoglobin has been so low, they’ve had to modify my meds a bit and keep checking my iron, I have labs done every 3 weeks. Even though my iron has been ‘normal’ my doctor decided to have me get two iron infusions because a low hemoglobin can also cause platelets to rise. It actually helped. My hemoglobin went from 9.2 to 11 in three weeks. My platelets did not go up. It does seem my low hemoglobin will be a constant battle.
