Hi, I am looking to get a Ferritin test done cheaply and I notice that it is now possible to buy home Ferritin tests which look a bit like Covid tests and give you a low/high/normal result (not a number). Has anyone used one of these? I have been diagnosed with low Ferritin (15) and have been eating lots of iron-rich foods since before Christmas. I would like to know whether it is working, but don't want to go to the doctor to get a test if I can help it, because I am taking Metavive in addition to my Levothyroxine, so my Thyroid results will probably upset them.
All I want to know is whether I am making progress with the Ferritin level or not. At this stage I'm not really interested in a numerical result. But on the other hand I don't want to waste my money if these tests are not worth doing.
