Based on reports, you may have mild iron deficiency anaemia. But before coming to final conclusion, you must go for an Iron Profile Test. it may indicate very low stores, which starts reflecting in haemoglobin slowly. Sometimes it needs more attention/treatment, than plain oral iron supplements!
Next Steps
Go for the aforementioned test (connect with me for the detailed list please)

Start iron supplements. Usually iron and folic acid supplements are advised by most of the fertility specialists even before planning a conception.... It's safe and advised too. You can take iron supplements and continue with embryo transfer. Discuss with your fertility specialist.

Yes, your report confirms Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) â not Beta Thalassemia trait. Both indices confirm this: Mentzer Index 14.7 (â¥14 = IDA;
Next Steps
Start iron supplementation as advised by your fertility doctor. Get serum ferritin, serum iron, TIBC, and HPLC done before the embryo transfer. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

Mild iron deficiency anemia. Not a major concern ,its treated well during pregnancy when you are taking iron tablet weekly basis.so no problem in embryo transfer.
