Can Iron Deficiency And Small Eggs Cause Difficulties In Conceiving?

I am 30 and my husband is 27, me and my husband have been trying to conceive our second child for nearly 2 years ,my first child is 3 and I got pregnant with him straightaway also over the last 2 years my periods had become irregular and my period is nearly always late by 7 days or over, I went abroad to a private fertility specialist and had an internal ultrasound, they told me that I had iron deficiency which I developed after the birth of my son, but the main problem they mentioned was that my eggs were small and not developed a box which said fluid had also been ticked,I've kept the files they gave me but did not go ahead with the treatment as I had to come back to the u.k, does this mean I have no chance of getting pregnant naturally and have to go through the IVF route now and what treatment would I need to get pregnant. please help!

HI
Well come to HCM
As I always say that the pregnancy is more natural phenomenon than the physiological one and it is depends upon certain compatibility like presence of ovum and sperm at the times of coitus and this may not be anything to do with the iron deficiency, you need to keep trying for this, hope this helps.
I find this answer helpful
