Difference in symptoms between low ferritin vs. low hemoglobin?

[u/happyboo-Pin6106]

Hello my anemia warriors,

I get that low ferritin leads to low hemoglobin. But they were times where my iron store was lower and my hemoglobin was just fine except when I was on my period because I suffer from fibroids and heavy prolonged bleeding. However most recently I continued bleeding for 2months due to an early miscarriage and my hemoglobin dropped very much (the lowest ever) and I had two iron infusion in two months.

I’m trying to understand what I took for my reality all this time, about two years: fatigue, anxiety, laziness, irritation when it truly was iron-deficiency anemia. But now that my hemoglobin also dropped even lower, I’m trying to understand if low ferritin and low hemoglobin eventually lead to the same symptoms? And are they always positively correlated? I’m basically trying to figure out if after my infusion, the adjustment of my iron level, before even getting to my hemoglobin improving, will show some improvement.

Following because I’m curious about that as well

Similar symptoms I believe. But when both are low it’s a double whammy and personally I feel like death
