I am very anemic. if i take iron tablets will it delay my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Forgive my frankness: Even being a little bit anemic is EXTREMELY serious. If the cause of your iron deficiency has not been determined, it needs to be addressed -- rule out GI bleeding, ill-advised vegetarianism, and others. If it's just your monthly loss, you owe it to yourself and those who depend on your productivity to address it at once. Meds won't interfere with your cycle.
