Hi Lulu, Welcome to Healthcaremagic,
Being anemic or having low counts is a symptom rather than a disease. This may or may not be reason of your secondary infertility, but I think Ist step now is that you get yourself investigated for cause of anemia. The cause may be dietary eg., iron deficiency or folic acid deficiency or malabsorption (in intestine), to bone marrow level. You should consult a physician. Good luck.
