Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
The low iron causes anemia.
As IVF requires hormonal stimulation and aspiring the eggs under anaesthetic agent it is better that the anemia be corrected and then IVF undertaken.
Anemia directly doesn't effect the success of the IVF but as later pregnancy occurs it us better that the patient enter her pregnancy in optimum health
Thanks
