Blood counts being low is not very specific.Did they tell you what exactly is low?Low RBC and hemoglobin are due to anemia,low WBC can be due to infection and inflammatory process.There are many reasons for low blood count.

Low iron can be accompanied with low red cells,hemoglobin and hematocrit and is very typical for anemia.The folate should resolve it in some time.
