Ok, so I was planning to donate blood at my school's blood drive today. I signed all the papers and everything, blood pressure was fine, but when they wen't to take my iron they said they had to deffer me because my iron was too low. I got a 11.1 for an iron level. Does anyone know the normal iron level for a 16 year old female?
Thank you!
Maybe this will help!

Food is the best way to try and raise your iron levels first, otherwise supplements work well too. Thanks for (wanting to) donate and I hope you can do it in the near future.
