Dear Vickers, I am glad you got the blood work done. You are only one point below normal so some good iron should get you to normal in no time. I can fully understand your anxiety about the menstual flow, you seem to be holding up well, I would be a wreck the way I "fear" my monthly, you are so strong! This is probably something simple like perimenopause, or a hormone problem, I know they usually do a D@C, I had one and it was not bad, and I am such a baby if I say its not bad its a piece of cake! ha-ha! Please eat high-iron and protein and rest alot, this will be over soon. I am praying for you. PLease let me know how you are. God bless, Debbie.
