Miaki:
Hello all,

My pretransfusion Hb usually sits about 11.5 and I have been going every 3 weeks, but now I will go back to the 4 week intervals. I fluctuate alot betweens trans.

Just curious about how many units you transfuse at one go? Pre-transfusion HB of 11.5 every 3 weeks on one unit is very good!!

Cheers

Miaki:
I wish I was only getting one unit. I receive 3 units every 3 to 4 weeks, which is about 800 mls of blood.

My daughter is getting 220cc. every five weeks. She is not ready for second bag as per hopital staff.

HUANG:
I usually go blood transfusions every two weeks and my Hb about 10.
Sometimes I will go three weeks but if I do that I feel tried than go two week.
The doctor suggests me that I can try to keep my Hb at 9 that is good for me.
So maybe I will change to go every three weeks.
