A member asked:

Why is my hemoglobin and hematocrit in normal range, but my ferritin dropping?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some ideas: If you are losing blood (monthly loss, loss from illness) or are a non-supplementing vegetarian, you'll lose the iron you need to make red cells before you become anemic. Serum ferritin fluctuates but if yours is low, it needs to be evaluated.
