Your obgyn: We can not make medication recommendations for individuals. It seems that you have a doctor who is checking your blood work. Typically when the Ferritin levels are low this indicates low Iron. Usually a doctor would prescribe Iron for that patient. Contact the doctor who ordered these tests for you and clarify the plan of care
