Hello doctor! I am 12 weeks pregnant, the blood test results show red blood cell count 3.67; hemoglobin 112, quantitative immunoassay Ferritin 217.4. So doctor, I would like to ask, I am 12 weeks pregnant with red blood cell count 3.67; hemoglobin 112, Ferritin 217.4, is that okay?

Your body relies on the iron in red blood cells to carry oxygen. Without enough iron, your red blood cells can't deliver enough oxygen. But too much iron is bad, too. Both high and low iron levels are serious problems. If your doctor suspects you have iron deficiency or iron overload, he or she will order a ferritin test. This test measures the amount of iron stored in your body, giving your doctor a picture of your iron levels.
