Got blood work done last week during my follicular phase. The only thing out of range is my hematocrit. It only shows total iron, so I need to check my ferritin as well. My TSH seems low, too. I’ve been breastfeeding for almost two years. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!

Awesome results. Did you drink enough the day before the test and prior to it? Dehydration may explain a bit high hematocrit level.

Thanks! I probably didn’t drink enough water the day before and definitely the morning of. Good to know.
