A member asked:
Can you say if it could living a vegetarian diet without iron supplements make me infertile successfully?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do you want: To be infertile? No, it won't make you infertile, but if you don't ingest sufficient iron you will develop an anemia. You can get adequate iron in your vegetarian diet -- talk w/a registered dietitian.
