Thanks Birgitta

I am on blood thinners at the moment, and thought it was strange the hospital put me back on them when I was in there, as I stopped them when I first noticed the bleeding.

I did see my GP, and he explained the reason for the fall in my results was not necessarily due to the amount of blood lost. He said that when something like what happened to me, water can be drawn in and sort of dilutes the blood resulting in lower numbers. My HB in the few days out of hospital had already risen back to 96, even though I still have minor bleeding. Hard to explain because he used some drawings to explain, but it made so much sense, as I thought I couldn't have lost more blood than say what a person would donate.
