GENERAL: Giving blood but avoiding anemia?

I have been donating blood fairly regularly for the past 2 years. I have been deferred a couple times for low iron. The last time I donated was the beginning of April. I'm pretty sure I got anemic after that but have been taking iron and am feeling much better now.

Anyway, I'm coming up on when I could donate again (8 weeks). But I'm wondering if donating every 8 weeks is too much and making me have low iron. If I wait a couple more months before donating, is it likely I won't get anemic again??

Thanks!
