Sorry to get graphic, but that special regular blood loss that you women folk have means that for those of you who dont have much Iron intake, then deficiencies are common.
But its nowt to worry about, not like you are going to become ill from slight less than optimal amounts of iron. You will probably feel like you have more energy and better recovery if you get more of the stuff. But then you will feel better by eating Red Meat regardless for a variety of reasons.
I am pretty certain that your mouth ulcers have nothing to do with Iron deficiency. It is much more likely to be stress related.
