I was kind of borderline low in some areas when I got my bloodwork done about a month ago. I've increased some of my vitamins, including upping my Iron from 45 mg/day to 300 mg/day. How many months should it take to (hopefully) increase my levels ? I don't want to request bloodwork too soon. Thanks !!

My surgeon orders them in about three months after increasing supplements.

Why do you have to request the levels? Doesn't your doctor follow them????

It depends on the doctor.  My PCP orders my labs.  I remind him when it's time to do that.

I usually check them again in three months.
