I just found out I have low iron, was told my number is 10. I don t have anemia though, but my doctor put me on iron supplements to prevent anemia. I should have started my period 5 days ago. I have had all the regular pms symptoms - bloating, bad sleep, tender breasts etc. I ve been spotting for 2 days now, but it feels like my period just doesn t want to start. Can this be due to starting the iron pills?
Hello, No, these iron pills do not cause any problem during periods instead these are necessary if you are having heavy menstrual bleeding and too much iron is lost during periods then It's necessary to take iron pills to replenish the iron stores of the body.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
