I made blood! My hematocrit today was up FOUR points! I'm at 33 HCT, and I was at 29 HCT four weeks ago. (Normal: Female: 36.1 - 44.3%) My hypothesis is the fact that I am on that 12 week birth control pill, therefore I cannot bleed to death, and I had IV iron four weeks ago, and more today. Also, another shot of B-12. A little old lady asked me if I felt any different - and I said, "What, like Instant Energy!? No." She said, "Good, neither do I, and I thought I was supposed to."
