Losing it?: Perhaps you are losing your iron at a faster rate than it can be restored by oral supplements.

Blood loss: If you are a woman you may be losing excessive amount of blood in menstrual periods. If you are male, it is imperative that you see a doctor at the earliest to rule out internal bleeding.
