I told my Dr last Monday that I wanted my iron checked because I kept feeling like it was low and because I was anemic during and for quite a bit after my daughter was born. So I guess pregnancy anemia? Whatever. They wouldnt do a blood draw to check it because last time it was like 14 and im not bleeding. Anyways. Today I go in to the WIC office to see if they would check it for me and what do you know, my levels dropped from 15.4 (checked there in December) to a 10.8. seriously annoyed that my OB wouldn't check it just because it was high and I wasn't bleeding 🙄
*Rant over.

Did they check your hemoglobin in the wic office with the little finger light things? Those aren't as accurate as a blood draw.

No, they pricked my finger

@kaitrack23 oh wow then. I'd be telling your doctor they need to listen to you next time. I'd be pretty upset because anemia makes you feel like crap.
