Why don't i have low iron?!


Question: Why don't i have low iron!?
Okay, so my mom, grandma, auntie and cousin all have low iron!. They get really heavy periods and are so tired!. I get the exact same thing!. My periods usually are heavy for more than 3 days and it lasts the whole 7 days!. I just recently went to the doctors for a check up!. because my periods were so bad she told me to get my blood tested for iron!. She still hasn't called me back yet!. My mom said i must not have low iron!. Its really weird that the girls in my family all have low iron and the same symptoms as me but yet i don't have low iron!
Is there other causes of Heavy periods and no energy!. ( and i don't eat red meat and my mom eats more iron filled veggies than i do) How can this be!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
you may not be eating the right foods during and before your period!. i would suggest a multivitamin and go easy on yourself around the time of your period!.
i did find some info mentioning the increase or decrease of hormones may have something to do with being so tired!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
