Thank you all...I am actually concern with iron overload. I will try to check with my PP later on the day. I very much hope is really nothing.

I have very low iron myself. the nurce had told me there is no such thing as to high. so i guess it can be low. idk i had to change my eating habits  talk to your doctor and see what he says.

You aren't that low. Doesn't have to mean anything. Levels can fluctuate from day to day, hour to hour. What did your doc say? If you are concerned, call your clinic and talk to a nurse about it.
