Anemia and secondary infertility?

Question

I got diagnosed the other day, and was told that that's why I can't conceive. I've been told to eat more protein, more dark green veggies and take vitamin c, prenatals as well as other vitamins to help my iron levels rise in order to conceive. What/how did you ladies eat (meal plan) to help boost your iron levels? My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 12+ months and nothing yet and it's starting to really get discouraging. 
Help me out please :)

Answer

Do some research, surprisingly there are a ton of high iron foods. Black beans, one of my favs, is one of the top contenders. It sucks. I've been severely anemic since I was pregnant with my first. If you see stars or your eyes are dark bump up the intake. Don't stress it. It's just going to make trying to eat all the necessary things seem like a chore. 
I'm in the same boat right now, it can be super stressful. Use it as a opportunity to try new things and see what you like.

Answer

Red meat, spinach, and broccoli are all very high in iron. Id also say to be sure youre drinking milk even if its skim, to be sure your bones and teeth are healthy. Once you have a baby on board, baby will take what baby needs and a lot of people are left with frail bones and fragile teeth because they werent on top of their vitamins and nutrients :) 
If youre lactose intolerant find another good source of calcium and stick to it :)
