Your report actually shows iron deficiency anaemia, not normal results. Your haemoglobin, MCV and MCH are all below range. Transferrin saturation is only 3%, which means your iron stores are quite depleted. At 15, with periods now established, this pattern usually points to heavier or longer periods rather than diet alone.
Next Steps
Please see a paediatrician or gynaecologist with this report. Be ready to describe your periods: how heavy, how many days, any clots. Diet changes alone usually won't correct a haemoglobin this low. Your vitamin D at 29.9 is also slightly low and worth mentioning at the same visit.
Health Tips
Get checked promptly if you feel breathless or dizzy, or need to change a pad every 1 to 2 hours during your period.
