Yes, that is about average. Red blood cells, when forming, eject their nucleus to make more room for hemoglobin. Without a nucleus, the cell has no ability to make repairs to itself and after about 120 days, it is worn out enough that it gets recycled in the liver and spleen.

How much time do stem cells take to take to make white blood cells?
Not very much time and it is a very complex process. Your body makes white blood cells (WBCs) at such a high rate that it makes more of them everyday than it does red blood cells (RBCs). And consider that RBCs live about 120 days, as opposed to WBCs that only live for a few minutes, hours, or only days. That is even more amazing when you consider that about 45% of your blood is RBCs and less than 1% is WBCs. I don't have the exact time, but I can surely say this, very fast and very profusely.

In such unhealthy conditions, the bone marrow that produces these red blood cells can't maintain the necessary replenishment rhythm.
