How long does it take for iron stores to be depleted?

Question

I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, and I was wondering how long would it take for iron stores to be depleted, and how long would it take for them to return to normal?

Answer 1

About a few days/weeks depending on the person.  I couldn't give blood because my iron stores were depleted.

Answer 2

This is not the kind of question that has a yes-no answer. Nor is in the kind of question where you should be satisfied by answers from amateurs and strangers over the Internet. you need to ask your physician.
