Hemachormatosis is a genteic condition when someone has too much iron.

In a healthy young female they generally looses enough iron my having periods.

I have this and have seen a few different specialists who 1 told me to have large amounts of blood taking every 6 months, another who said not to bother.

When I was preg my OB monitered my bloods and they were actual pretty normal for the first time.

My parents and siblings were tested and mum and brothers are clear and dad is a carrier but doesnt have it.

My DS needs to be tested for it in a few weeks at RCH as precautionary as I have it.

hope that helps
