Hmm, we hear the opposite at our center. Women are more likely to have a low iron reading, especially around their, umm, time of the month. My wife is rejected due to low iron about 50% of the time, regardless of the date. Another way to get a low iron reading is apparently to have cold hands too. Last time I walked to the center, it was a little chilly and after feeling my hands, the tech gave me one of those hand warmer packs to knead for a while to get my hands back up to normal temp for that very reason.
