low white blood count

I have been going to the dr trying to get anwsers of why I feel so bad. Im hoping somone else has had the same issues. On 11-18 I had a CBC auto, Comp Meta Panel, TSH test done. Most came back in normal range with the expections of WBC was a 3 (5-11) in normal range, RBC 3.9 (4-5.5), Hemoglobin 9.7 (12-16) MCV 30 (38-48) MCH 76.9 (80-100) RDW 24.8 (27-32) TSH was normal, and so went back for another CBC on the 29th and WBC dropped to 2.5 RBC 3.86 Hemoglobin 9.9 and the others were low and platelets were 137 (140-450) My Ferritin was 3 (10-154) folate was in normal B12 was normal. Iron and TIBC were all in normal range. Did another CBC on 12/2 and WBC 2.6 RBC went into normal range 4.02 and everything else stayed low. Platelets did rise to 145. Any ideas. Have had a headache for days that no meds will help.
