How Much Iron Needed to Maintain Ferritin?

[Guest guest]

I've been able to keep my ferritin at about 90 for at least 6 months, first on

~200 mg iron, then on 100 mg. Should I try going down to 50 mg iron and restest

in a few months or is that too low (or too high?)

My ft3 was low last I checked and I still menstruate as well as get labs fairly

frequently. I don't want to overdo on the iron, but I don't want to lose this

ferritin that I worked so hard to get up, either. I am finally able to tolerate

t3 without huge doses of HC and I think it must be due to the ferritin.
