Hydroxyurea is a fetal hb inducer,basicaly its a chemo drug which happen to increase fetal hb in patients,but every one has a different experience with it,with some patients it works with some it does not,and while taking hydrea u need to monitor blood counts regularly.

Thanks, I'll speak to the doctor about it next time I see her. Just wondering what the Hb was for other babies  out there the first time they got transfused???

My daughter was diagnosed at three years,and when she was first transfused her hb was around 7.

Update on little cutey Katia, we had another appointment after about 5 months now and her hB is now at 75, so it has gone up (thankgod). I am guessing (or hoping) that the wheatgrass supershots that I have been giving her have really helped. She is a happy, active toddler and growing really well.
