A member asked:
Can missing ovulation (12days spotting and bleeding) be the caused of low iron?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Irregular, heavy, or frequent periods is a very common cause of anemia and low iron in women. Often birth control pills can help regulate this, but sometimes iron supplements or vitamins with iron are required.

May be: Excessive menstrual blood loss is more often a cause of anemia rather than anemia causing irregular periods. You may wish to take oral iron and multivitamin supplements. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
