Both microcytic and macrocytic anemia can occur with iron deficiency and along with combination vitamin B12 levels. Kindly check vitamin B12 levels. Serum ferritin is low. Need iron supplementation and improve ur eating habits. Take lot of fruits and green vegetables.

Dimorphic anemia is characterized by the presence of both microcytic and macrocytic red blood cells, often due to multiple causes such as iron deficiency and vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. In your case, since your ferritin levels have improved to 19 after iron supplements (though still slightly low), and vitamin B12 is normal, it's crucial to continue managing the underlying causes.
The fact that you have multiple shapes of red blood cells (RBCs) suggests the need for ongoing monitoring, but dimorphic anemia is usually curable, especially if the underlying causes like iron and vitamin deficiencies are treated. You should continue with the prescribed supplements for iron and ensure your vitamin B12 levels are regularly checked.
I advise you to have regular follow-ups and monitor your hemoglobin, RBC morphology, and iron studies to ensure complete recovery.
