GP asked me to have a ton of blood tests, now wants FBC repeated in three months as borderline, I asked what was borderline and was told the FBC was so I am none the wiser what does this usually mean? I already knew the thyroid levels were ok as had a private test done.
Thank you for reading

There are many tests included in a full blood count:
Haemoglobin
White Blood Count which includes:
* Neutrophils
* Lymphocytes
* Monocytes
* Eosinophils
* Basophils
Platelet Count
Red Cell Count
Haematocrit
Mean Cell Volume - Red cell
Mean Cell Haemoglobin
So your GP isn't being particularly helpful when he just says it's "borderline", it could be any of them or all of them.
Why not ask the receptionist for a print out of your test results and post them on the forum, remember to include the reference ranges as this will show which are well within range and which are borderline or out of range.
Thank you, I will try and get through to them 
You have a legal right to a print out, I always get them.
Thank you
Well it's taken a while but I have my results.........
Red Blood Cell Count/above range....... 4.99 10*12/L (3.8-4.8)
Haemoglobin Concentration/above range....... 157g/L (120-150)
Haematocrit/above range...... 0.48 (0.36-0.46)

Well, they are just slightly over range, and you are certainly not anaemic.
Good idea for your GP to check them in 3 months.
This is what the NHS website has to say about the Red Blood Cell Count:
