The ferrous or ferric iron that you're getting from a vegan diet and supplements is not as easily absorbed as heme iron found in meat. Try increasing your Vit E and especially C to improve absorbtion. Deficiency in Vit C alone could be the cause of the bruising - more likely in my opinion than iron deficiancy.
If you decide to take the C, avoid straight ascorbic acid and look for a sodium/calcium ascorbate - it's better for your tummy and won't eat the enamel off your teeth.
