Hi, I Am Anemic, Get My Blood Checked Routinely Every

Hi, I am anemic, get my blood checked routinely every 3 months. Last June all results normal. I am on a prescription iron pill, 325mg, size of a m&m. Checked blood last week, iron 10,ferritin 3, hct low. Ticb normal, ts % 3, all other lab normal. I'm confused why my body would dive like this with iron. I do have heavy periods, but again, past lab results always in check with prescription iron. Could I have an absorbtion problem all of the sudden? Would there be other test I should consider? Thanks
