A member asked:
Is an hgb count of 11.6 really that low? should i be worried? my ferritin is 9.2 and my hct 35.4

Continue iron and: Multivitamin treatment. You are still iron deficient. You may need to take more than 20mg/day of iron. If you are not menstruating, then it would be prudent to consult your doctor to look for an other cause of blood loss.
