I’ll ask the GP for some iron, I’ve bought a blood test online which is more thorough. Waiting for day 3 of my period as there’s lots of hormones included, just wondered if the b12 or folate are ok? Serum vitamin B12 level 311 ng/L [180 - 640] Serum ferritin level 20 ng/ml [15 - 200] Serum folate

Thyroid Check-Up
Hi all, I recently had my bloods done at the doctors for Folate, B12 and Thyroid etc. I asked for a print out of my records and seen that my folate was 1.8, so doctor prescribed 3 months of folic acid. My T4 level was 11.1, I wasn’t prescribed anything, and I was told to get this rechecked in 3 months
