b.c. not work for anemics?

[albijuli]

I... didn't see this in the archives. It's an odd sort of question, but I thought I'd ask.

So my friend's telling me that Birth Control (or b.c.) doesn't work for anemics. Now, I'm on the pill primarily for control over my psycho two-week-long-and-heavy period, but I thought the decreased chance of pregnancy was nifty as well (especially since I might become active soon).

Now, I think Birth control not working just because of iron deficiency (or any type of anemia) is bullshit. but then again, I might be wrong, and I am asking. O.o I'm worried, and I don't want to needlessly be.

Answers, comments, suggestions, places that might help me answer this?

Now, there are various kinds and various degrees of anemia, so maybe some more serious cases can be problematic...

that makes sense O.o
