A member asked:
Where can i find a place rather than the hospital to check my iron levels due to heavy bleeding ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: You may take oral iron supplements without testing for iron level. As long as you are having periods, taking iron will not do any harm. For the test you could see your doctor and go to a lab, such as Quest, to get your blood tested.
