Can my iron deficiency amemia affect my ability to get pregnant and how bad?

No, but: Being anemic will not affect your ability to conceive; however, starting a pregnancy already anemic is a very bad idea.

See below: If you are planning to get pregnant, it would be prudent to establish a relation with a doctor for pre-natal care. In the mean time take oral iron and multivitamin supplements. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine
