When Will Hemoglobin Level Normalize After Taking Blood Transfusion?

I had a GI hemorrhage and I was in ICU for 5 days Then I was in the hostipal for another 3 days . Iwas given 3 units of blood & 3 units of iron in my IV. I went to get blood drawn the other day & my hemoglobin level is 10.1. . While in the hostipal tests reveal I have ulcers, diverticulosis & diverticulitis &hemmoriods. How long will it take for my hemoglobin level to come back up to normal?
