Thanks for your response! You made a very interesting point that I had never thought about in regards to iron levels. Whenever I have blood tests they tell me that I am borderline anemic. Is this a side effect of PCOS? I just always thought it was another annoying thing to deal with! :-) Do low iron levels contribute to hair loss?
