I was anemic and now my count got increased to normal. my doubt is if i get periods will it affect my hb count?

Anemia & Periods: Yes, monthly periods, if heavy, can cause anemia over time. If you are bleeding through more than a pad or tampon per 1-2 hours, that is considered heavy flow. It's a good idea to discuss this with a doctor or see planned parenthood for help with heavy periods. Also a good idea to take a women's multivitamin with iron.
