Is it normal for a red blood cell count to fluctuate from 4.2 to 4.0 in a few months? what is the normal range?

Yes, & see below: The normal range for a female is 4.2 to 5 +. Menstrual blood loss can account for the variation you mentioned. See this site for more info. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003644.htm.
