You have a significant anemia and the smear result is not consistent with just iron deficiency. Taking iron supplement won't hurt you but it may not correct the anemia. I doubt of any type of leukemia if white blood cell and platelet counts are within normal ranges (you did not mention so I assume they are normal). You need to be evaluated by a hematologist. Good luck.
