OK...so the blood bank came to our work last week for their three monthly visit and I thought I'd see if they would take my blood (hoping like hell I was over my anemia). They did the haemoglobin pin prick test and I was 108. Normal iron levels for a woman are 118-165. So they didn't take my blood.

I was pissed off....I'd been on a liquid iron supplement and now a daily iron supplement along with my other daily vitamins for about 5 weeks now. And my iron level was the same as it was the day the doctor told me I was anemic 5 weeks ago! How long does it take to get 'normal' again???
