Hello, does anyone know whether there is a connection between one's levels of iron and fertility?

Following! i have low iron levels and 3 back to back miscarriages after having one son no problem. I know your risk increases largely x

Thanks for responding. I've called the dr to book a blood test but they don't have availability until November. In the meantime I'm taking iron supplements just in case xx

I believe just like any vitamin deficiency, it can have an impact on fertility. However, unless you are hugely deficient in iron, I can't imagine it being a huge factor in infertility. But once pregnant, it is very serious as baby will be taking up a lot of your nutrients. And at birth, blood loss is more dangerous.
