I did a job interview and the hiring manager said the salary range is between 35,000 and 60,000, she asked for my salary expectations I said 38,000 (I currently earn 30000). After the call, I saw that was I said was foolish so I sent her an email that it was premature and I want from $45000 and above. When the offer came, they gave me 45000, I am thinking of negotiating 5000 higher, is that a good idea?

You have already bumped them up by a significant percentage with your email; by going back on what you said a second time you will create one of two impressions - that you don't know what you actually want, or that you still won't be satisfied even if they give you more. Neither is good. Stick with the second offer, and if you really think you deserve more then ask once you've had time to prove what value you bring.

Note that this depends entirely on whether you are comfortable losing this offer. It's a bad idea in the sense that you're appearing flaky as described in the answer below. But if you wouldn't accept the job at less than 45+X then that is moot. If it's an otherwise excellent job and a decent enough pay raise then this is much riskier.

That seems like a broad salary range, like they are open-ended as to "level of experience" of the person being recruited perhaps? Where do you think you are relative to the job e.g fairly junior, or quite senior? On what basis did you see it was foolish to ask for $38k (an oddly specific number)?
