What Causes Delayed Periods While Suffering From Low Ferritin Levels?
Still virgin and 20 years old....My last period was from about 53 days and i ve been taking iron supplements and vitaminD from a week ago after doing a blood test and having low level of Fe (30) and ferritin (about 6 ) is it normal not having my period yet ?
Hi I think you should go for evaluation first. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of irregular periods. You can take some medicines like meprate or deviry for inducing periods. Anemia can be a reason of not getting periods. Hope it helps.
