Most women will struggle with iron at some point during their lifetime. But there are 2 tales when it comes to iron and just like Goldilocks, you want it just right, not too low or too high. The only way to know how much iron you are storing is to test.
Just a heads up if you ask your doctor for an iron test, they may not test for ferritin. Ferritin is the amount of iron your body is storing. Make sure to confirm your doctor has added ferritin to your request form. As many women only find out about iron overload by accident when investigating something else.
The range for ferritin varies from lab to lab and country to country. On average, the reference range is usually below 150 ng/ml, but for me, I’m looking for optimal levels, not common levels and anything in triple digits worries me.
