No, I haven’t had any noticeable blood loss. I’m hoping I’ll be referred next week when I see my family physician. Thanks for your help!

Did you ever take oral iron supplements? Or were your numbers so bad they went right to the infusion? In my case I took supplements and there was no improvement at all, almost like I wasn’t absorbing iron, so eventually I had infusions. They will always look for a source of bleeding first, usually before considering anything else. I’m curious, did you start to see your levels fall again approximately 3 months after your infusion?
