blood tests

Hi

I've got to get a few blood tests done for my yearly boxing medical thingy and I'm wondering when the best time to do it would be. It has to be on a weekday morning (only time the clinic is open).

I'd like to be feeling relatively good on Saturdays anyway because then I have interclub sparring I like want to make the most of.

I'm not sure if I should take the whole day off training or if I'd be right to train in the afternoon if I get them done on a morning? I'm hoping i won't have to worry about it at all the next day but I'm not sure how long it takes for your body to replace the blood?

Maybe I should take an iron supplement for a day or two before and after since I'm female and prone to being slightly low on iron?

What do other people do?

iv never had any problems with blood tests and feeling crap, the last blood test i had i went straight to the gym after i had it done, they only take a negliable amount of blood anyways

They only extract a very small amount of blood during testing, not enough to affect your blood sugar levels .. I wouldn't hit the gym right afterwards though since you'll have to have the tests done on an empty stomach anyways.

Sharla theres a product on the market called Feroglobin which was made for women with your problem. My lads swear by it we tested it in the 80s its brilliant cant speak highly enougth of the product get some.

Will do thanks Scrap :)
