I'm trying to conceive and my iron is really low will that effect my chances?

Question

we have been trying for a while now and nothing yet...i need help

Answer 1

Eat green leafy veggie & red meat. In order for you to be able to carry a baby to term, you need enough iron. Prenatal vitamins have some in them. During pregnancy, your blood supply increases by about 50%, so if you're anemic, you're more likely to have problems with being circulation and dizziness. Talk to your doctor and see what, in specific, he/she recommends to increase your iron. Good luck!

Answer 2

I know that iron is very important during pregnancy. So i assume that when you are trying to conceive you need to bring those levels up. The best thing to do is make an appointment with your doctor, who will then put you on a right diet plan.

Theres also vitamins that you can take especially for those with iron deficiencies.

When I was going through my teenage stuff, I had to take a liquid called 'tonic' and that has all the iron you can have, and is really good. Tastes like orange too!!

Good luck x

Answer 3

prolly not, im animic and i know i didnt spell that right. lol but i have a really low iron count as well and i have 2 kids...but if i were u i would try to get some iron pills cuz if u do get prego the baby is gonna need the iron. also count 13 to 14 days after ur period and those are the two days u are most likely to get pregnant on. good luck and have fun!

Answer 4

All this time I was anemic. My doctor prescribed a multivitamin with iron to concieve and I was only there to get medicine for a respiratory infection I had. He asked me If I wanted another child and he told me I had low iron and told me to take the vitamins and see what comes of it. It was a relief for me because me and my Hubby had been trying for almost a year to concieve so yes get to the doctor and listen to what they have to tell you. Good Luck!!

Answer 6

hi
well its good to start takeing some high dose of iron pills like say 60 mg once a day for atleast one month if u want to avoid pills eat lots pf spinach kale collards soya stuff
i would recomend to take a supplement of b complex 100 mg and an extra of folic acid
basically folic acid helps in concieving
in regards to iron if ur haemoglobin is low u will concieve but the chances of miscarriage and lots of harm to ur body and the new born will be seen

Answer 7

I'm anemic and I haven't had any problems but everyone is different. You can get a low dose iron pill over the counter. I'd check with your doctor.

Answer 8

I'm on my 2nd but my mom's doctor had her taking prenatal vits u can by them over the counter or talk to your 'female' doctor and get them prescribed. Try talking to your doctor because some women are prone to get pregnant with the help birth control pills(scarey but true) good luck.

Answer 9

It shouldnt, but if u blieve that it does, take some stuff that will bring ur iron level up!
U can also tryto do differ positions during intercourse, cuz u might not b able to get prego w/ jus that one position!!
