Hi Serkan.

That's great to hear you're back to full time work and starting to lead a normal life again. When's the baby due?

I don't know anything about ferritn so I'll leave that for others to answer.

omg!

I know she's not named after me but it still has made my day! She's destined to have a great life with a name like that (I'm a bit biased of course!).

Hi Serkan,

Are you on any vitamins containing iron? Any inflammatory conditions or problems going on.

You may want to fast before having your iron checked again. And I would request they do a full iron panel.

FE, when over 1500 can really have some dramatic swings. It doesn't take much to effect it. Even the blood draw can falsely elevate it.

BWT...Congrats on the pending new arrival .

Thank you Marlene,
I dont have inflammattory conditions.Generally liver enzymes are high.
My doctor told me,i have to give my blood every other week.
You may be right most probably blood draw is wrong.
