Given the limited information provided, you are not anemic anymore. However, iron storage in your body might be still low.

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, you are not anemic but may benefit from taking oral iron supplement. Wish you good health!

I had a CBC that was normal. 7 days later, start Bactrim for Lyme. 5 days thereafter, CBC shows mild anemia (low: RBC, Hgb, Hematocrit), with normal iron/ferritin. Low Folate, normal MCV. IS THIS FOLATE DEFIC. ANEMIA OR BACTRIM: APLASTIC ANEMIA?
I had a CBC and my hgb was 8.7 and WBC 3.4 my platelets were 405. I know I am anemic and i take 325mg of iron bid. What can help i take my iron regularly. Three times a day when I am on my cycle.
I would like an explanation as to why my ferritin and transferrin saturationlevels are usually low, yet my CBC is normal. Which I dont understand. As my CBC count counteracts the anemia I do have heavy periods. Could that be the reason?
