Low iron: May be due to diet low in iron rich foods such as meats or poor intestinal absorption. May also reflect other blood loss. Speak to your doctor.

Any symptoms?: What makes you think you have low iron? What symptoms do you have? Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon, anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx
