I feel like you Lady....I went and had to get labs twice because they messed up. The 2nd time I'm firm on this I want my iron and ferritin checked, they only checked ferritin. I have been taking iron for 7 months, my Dr. has not once suggested to me that I go to a GI Dr. I'm going to get a thermal ablation on the 10th to slow the cycles down and pray that is it. I started with a ferritin of 2 and am now at a 33, 7 months. What gives. Wish Dr's would take this more seriously.
