What Causes Low Ferritin Levels?

From time to time my ferritin drops very low. Last time, it was down to 4. I took iron and got my ferritin up to 16. My doctor says I am not anemic an not to worry. This has happened 3 times in the last ten years and I can t seem to get a good answer as to why my ferritin levels drop from time to time. Cheryl Eccles
