Lisa,

ml (milliliter)Ì(cubic centimeters).

A loss of 750cc is equivalent to 1.5 units of blood which should drop your hemoglobin approximately 1.5 gm (grams) and hematocrit (for those who know about it) about 3.

Therefore, Dr Watson, either your Hb (hemoglobin) was low to begin with or a greater amount of blood was lost than was initially presumed.

Hope this helps.
