hemoglobin/hematocrit
my hemoglobin came back 10.3 g/dl
and hematocrit came back 31.9%
does this mean I'm anemic? do you think i will have to take iron supplements?

Re: hemoglobin/hematocrit
Hematocrit is the measurement of the volume of red blood cells in your blood and it's always calculated as a percentage. You wouldnt want it to be 100% or your blood would be like molasses, lol.
Sorry misread. Normal hematocrit ranges for women should be around 36% and Hb should be 12ish.

Re: hemoglobin/hematocrit
Hemoglobin is down, but not by much. I know my ob likes it to be like 12. I am so anemic, that my hemoglobin is usually a 7! I am on crazy iron supplements that now have brought me up to an 11, this is the highest I have ever been, in my life!! I feel great!
