Iron Levels and Infertility
Manage episode 358349828 series 3389962
Iron deficiency anemia can be a significant problem when you're trying to conceive or going into a pregnancy, but even without overt iron deficiency anemia, your iron levels can still have an effect. We'll discuss:
- Why it's important to test both red blood cell iron levels and also ferritin, the storage form of iron.
- What iron deficiency anemia feels like, normally and in pregnancy.
- The possible complications of anemia in pregnancy, childbirth, for the neonate and even for the child of an anemic mother beyond the neonatal period.
- The relationship between men's iron levels and men's fertility especially with sperm parameters.
- Iron infusions and why we love them.
Iron levels are an important factor in preconception and pregnancy and while every doctor will test basic red blood cell levels, you may have to advocate for yourself to get your ferritin tested.
Here's the video version of our chat. Have genetic polymorphisms? Work on them in the private community, Genetic Rockstars. If you'd like to take a course on MTHFR, click here.
