Dr. F basically told me that the numbers say I'm borderline anemic; my body says "we need iron stat" but whatever. She said it was my choice to do the transfusions or try supplements, but the thing is that we don't know for certain the supplements will work, they'll take longer, and I'd rather not be anemic while trying to get pregnant which I will hopefully be doing in the next few months. So I opted for the transfusions, which she said was totally fine. (Other reasons for opting for transfusions include that I'm exhausted all the time and short of breath all the time, and I want that to STOP.)
I have my first one next week. So that'll be good. I'm looking forward to having more energy.
And now I am home and about to tackle the laundry monster eating my side of the bedroom. Wish me luck!
