Perimenopause a little over a year ago hemoglobin was low iron was low and ferritin well now in menopause hemoglobin normal iron normal ferritin is still a little low which increases first iron & hemoglobin ir ferritin?

You have a typical iron profile from perimenopause to menopause. Ferritin is considered an iron storage so when you lose a lot of iron through period, the Hb and iron are low but ferritin could still be normal. But when you no longer lose blood, Hb and iron will improve but the storage, ferritin, will be on the low side but I guess it's in the low normal, well above 15. Ferritin has a big range.

Ferritin represents the state of iron stores and will be the last to return to normal levels. Hemoglobin and iron recover first, in that order.
