Lisa,
I was waiting for that joke ! No problem but it is a serious question, if our physiology is different along with our wiring.

Jennie,
Maybe you misunderstood but the figures are haemoglobin levels in the blood . I weigh 147lbs and I'm not on any medication or hormone treatment.

Just for the record I was to asked to take part in a trial for a mobile unit to donate platelets, that really takes it out of you, I was hooked up for 90 minutes , it operates on a cyclic system of taking so much and then putting plasma back into your system with an anticoagulant . It's the equivalent of several normal blood donations.
