I recently got my CBC test results, and the report shows my HCT is at 35.1 and it should be between 36-46, while my MCV is 77.7, but the normal range is 81-101. Also, my MCHC is 35.8, which seems a bit outside the usual 32.5-34.5 range. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Are there any precautions I need to take, or should I consider further tests? I decided to get tested because I've been experiencing early and frequent periods, along with weakness and paleness. These symptoms started after a period of depression from losing my dad in January, which affected my sleep and appetite. Although I'm emotionally better now, I can't help but feel these physical issues stem from that time. What steps should I take from here?

I'm kinda worried about my blood report since it says there's an alert for predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes anisocytosis. Can you explain what this means? I've attached a screenshot if that helps.

I've been dealing with hair loss since I was 23 and recently discovered it's due to hypothyroidism. I'm currently getting homeopathy treatment, which has helped a bit, but the hair loss won't stop. I don't have PCOD, PCOS, scalp issues, or dandruff, so those aren't the problems. My doctor mentioned it could be an iron deficiency, so I started some meds they suggested. My hemoglobin went up, but my serum ferritin is still pretty lowit's been stuck around 16 to 24 over the past year, even with me eating red meat and other iron-rich foods. It's frustrating because Im getting married soon and don't want this stress hanging over me. Any idea who I should see about getting my serum ferritin levels up? Your advice would mean a lot.
