Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Usually we recommended blood transfusion or iron inj if haemoglobin level is below 7. I think your doctor advised you inj iron as your blood group is negative and some time negative blood group may in crisis. My opinion is you take iron tab in bd dose it can help you later. If you have other query then you can contact me. Thank you.
