Hi there. OP refers to low iron so I assume she has been tested and confirmed that her condition is IRON DEFICIENCY ANAEMIA as opposed to PERNICIOUS ANAEMIA which is associated with B12 deficiency. I suffered low iron for over six years..fatigue, paleness and heart palpitations to name a few effects. My condition would not respond to iron supplements. After intensive tests it was narrowed down to two things. One is my gluten intolerance..blocks absorption of many other minerals and vitamins besides iron. Secondly is a stomach parasite H. pylori a horrid horrid creature that literally sucks iron from your intestinal walls and is associated with many other conditions including ulcers, stomach cancer etc. The more iron you consume, the more they grow since they feed on it. My doc had to ensure we had killed this parasite b4 prescribing iron. http://h-pylori-symptoms.com/resources-2/articles/helicobacter-pylori-can-cause-anaemia/ In case you are diagnosed with H. pylori, your partner must be checked too as it can be transmitted mouth to mouth. All I can advz is get to the bottom of it, ask questions, read widely and insist that doctors conducts more tests that the usual. I am grateful to have found a doctor that thinks out the box. Wish you quick recovery
