The numbers you posted for HCT.HGB don't support a donation, at this time. You may indeed need to supplement iron though. I would not take whatever the Dr is prescribing unless its a specific iron supplement, and not a "drug". I just avoid drugs where ever I can. I've had iron problems, we've got plenty of iron threads in the recent weeks if you have the time to search though. There's some good tips on iron absorption like using atleast 2G of Vitamin-C, and using Lysine as well can aid iron absorption. I had to use this product to get my iron up: https://www.amazon.com/Ferretts-tablets-325mg-Ferrous-Fumarate/dp/B01L14F1H0/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1516238057&sr=8-2&keywords=ferrets+iron

I had to use that twice per day to get my iron and ferritin to come up, I had used lesser supplements and nothing worked for me but Ferrets did have an improvement.

Your Dr should be running your Ferritin, too. Too if he's reading a CBC and looking at HGB and calling that "iron" you should probably find a new Dr because he's about as wrong as he can be.
