I'd appreciate that Lisa. I'll let you know what my doctor says too. I just don't understand why my ferritin was steadily rising and since having surgery in June it has gone down. The only thing that I can think of is that I bled continually for a couple of weeks after surgery (could ferritin levels drop simply due to this??) and then went straight into a proper period. They've been like clockwork since, which I know is lucky as many women's cycles become irregular after fibroid surgery or they go into early menopause. Anyway, I hope your doctor has some answers for you. Fingers crossed.
