Iron deficiency: Far and away the most important "insight" you need is that it is impossible to diagnose iron deficiency based only on symptoms. And there are many causes of missed menstrual periods that are much more common than iron deficiency. If you remain concerned, contact your doctor about having a blood count. Good luck.
