My iron levels dropped dramatically within 2 months?

So before on the 17th of July I had my iron levels checked before surgery... surgery went ahead so I assumed there wasn't a problem, 2 weeks ago I had a blood test to check everything because I was showing symptoms of anemia or hyperthyroidism, and found out last Friday that my Hematocrit levels were a low 19... but my storage of iron was at the higher end of normal... today I found out my Hematocrit levels were completely in the healthy range as was my iron storage...

why would that happen in 2 months?

    Yes blood test vary as you may have a lot of a certain vitamin in one and the next week it may be low it all depends on how much of each paticular you ingest prior to the test so overall your levels are fine so do not worry in the least
