Hiya's

So my DR's are pretty sure that the reason I cannot conceive is because of my Iron levels.

They have done full bloods etc, and have determined that my hormone levels etc are all fine and everything looks good. But it appears i'm not ovulating because of my Iron levels.

I'm just wondering if there is anyway else out there who has had trouble TTC with low iron? I've never had a problem with iron prior to DD and i'm really struggling to take my tablet each day!

Oh, DH and I have been TTC #2 for 2 years now.

That's weird that they said iron was the reason you are having issues TTC. I've had low iron on and off all my life and my iron levels were shockingly low when I got preggers. I find it hard to believe that as a reason.

Interesting..because they told me that, and then of course I googled it and it appeared to be true..

If thats not it, then i'm utterly confused :(

It may be true, I just find it really weird when comparing to my situation.
