No, but your body needs more iron because your period drains you of it. Thats why they invented One-A-Day +Iron for women.

No, your period will stop your iron. If you have low iron and no period, you really need to see a doctor right away.

no, you'll just become anemic which will leave you very weak and tired, and quite possibly sick from a lowered immune function. try one of those new kinds of birth control pills or shots that basically get rid of your period, or make them very light.

sometimes it does, but yes for the most part it slows down your menstrual cycle
