A member asked:
Could a high dose iron supplement delay my period? i am taking feramax, 150 mg of elemental iron, every day.

Unlikely : Not a known side effect of iron supplements at any dose, you want to check with your doctor re period delay, check home pregnancy test if suspecting pregnancy and period delayed more than one week, best wishes
