Last August my doctor recommended a full blood panel just based on some concerns I had been experiencing. The biggest concern is that my ferritin level was a 13. My total iron, iron binding capacity and saturation were within range.

I began taking iron supplements and fast forward to my current test (2wks ago) and my ferritin actually went down to a 12. My total iron increased although it was already in range and my saturation is actually reading too high.

How is possible that my total iron increased yet my ferritin decreased??
