Are you anemic and have problems getting pregnant?

all my life i have had anemia problems now i know this is asking and answering but i just want to tell my story and hopefully help those who are unable to get pregnant i was unaware of how bad my anemia was and i couldn't take iron pills because they would not absorb into my blood and i refused blood transfusions i finally met a hematologist who started me on iron infusions through IV i had zero stored iron and my iron level was about 4 normal is i think around 14 my doctor told me that i was basically a walking dead person and he had no clue why or how i was even walking my blood cells were so small that they could barely see them through microscope no i dont have any diseases either that would cause this only a blood disorder a year ago after receiving a good amount of iron infusions and my levels were almost back to normal but my cells were still small and abnormally shaped keeping in mind that i thought there was something else wrong with me that i could not get pregnant as i tried for 8 years with no success i had a miscarriage a year ago didnt even know i was pregnant now i am 8 weeks pregnant and 4 months ago my doctor told me my cells were back to normal and my iron levels were great just when i was starting to accept the fact that i could not have anymore children and was very depressed because of it my little baby is growing in my tummy right now and im so excited i cant wait to hold her/him i owe a big thanks to my hematologist i hope that some of you can also use this information to help you
