75 mg is a low dose for iron but you need to have lab work to determine if you have anemia or other conditions.

Yes, you could have anemia with those symptoms. Those are very common symptoms for anemia but could also be symptoms to other common vitamin/ mineral low levels. Try eating green leafy veggies and lean red meat. Talk to a doctor regarding taking an iron supplement.
You may have anemia It is probably related to your menstruation If you feel tired I would see a hematologist. If not continue the iron, possibly twice daily and that should resolve the problem
