Ferritin = 39. Hemoglobin = 13.4. Hematocrit = 39.8. Some hair shedding. I'm a woman in her 30s. Should i take an iron supplement? If yes, how much?
Hi! my hemoglobin was 10.8 in april, with iron supplements went to 13.5 by august, 12.8 in october, 11.5 in november. Any thoughts? Really worried.
What could cause a sharp decrease in your ferritin levels? My ferritin went from 36 to 16 in two months. I supplement occasionally. My hemoglobin is on the brink of low levels. I cannot seem to keep my iron levels up even with supplementation?
