All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if you are still having periods, take oral iron and multivitamins and you may repeat the test in 6-12 months. Wish you good health!
