Good to repeat it first. Why is it being done every 3 months? Once a year is usually good if nothing else going on,

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your hemoglobin is just below normal and is likely to be an indication of iron deficiency. You may take oral iron and multivitamin supplements. Wish you good health!
