Not the key: If by "iron level" you mean your hemoglobin, you must first determine the cause of your anemia with your physician's help. If you are truly iron-deficient, you must find the cause -- pregnancy / heavy monthly loss is only one possibility, we need to rule out a stomach ulcer, hookworm, or cancer. Despite vegetarian disinformation, it's hard to get enough iron without meat or supplements.
