I think I'm anemic

Seriously.  I went to the ob.gyn on 9/29.  I started Provera on on 10/4 - spotting started 10/5 and lasted until 10/19 when AF came. Everything stopped on 10/23.  So if you calculate that, I basically had a light to heavey AF for 20 days.  THEN, AF came again yesterday - 6 days after it stopped.  WTH?

I've been bleeding for a like a month.  This time no drugs or anything involved - it just came on it's own.  While the first time with 2 weeks of spotting isn't abnormal with provera, the fact that AF came again just 6 days later is.

Looks like I'll be calling my doctor on Monday.  My emotions are all over the place because it's like my body didn't work for a very long time and now it's like it's working but too well??  I don't know.  I'm just over it!

So needless to say - I think I'm anemic.  I just want to eat a rare steak, ha!

Re: I think I'm anemic

  • Yikes!  I say, eat the steak (but cook it first!), and maybe take iron supplements?
  • Holy crap Ash! Please call your doctor....!

    Can you eat some leafy greens also (spinach, kale, collard greens)?

    mmm...steak sounds good!!

  • I second iron supplements. It won't stop your flow, but it will help your body deal with losing all that iron. And yes, call your doctor!

    I think a supplement will help your energy big time. Try B-complex. It's a daily, and helps give you energy...actually I wonder if I can take that now...I need to check it out...

    I'm feeling alright-Thanks for asking! Most of the time just tired. Not too much m/s,  today I was moody as though. Some woman pushed me w/ her cart in TJ Maxx today after she said "excuse me" (clearly I was still in her way) and I honestly almost started crying (after I mumbled *** under my breath). Although, come to think of it, I'm pretty moody anyways!!

    Keep us posted on how you feel and what the doc says- I'm worried about you!

  • I'm on a LOT of supplements already.  My H has me on just about everything Herbalife has to offer.  I think that's why I' having issues honestly.  I think my body oddly enough is trying to be normal and the Provera is getting in its way, resulting in the longest period of my life.

    I'm still calling the doctor though.  I'm pretty sure she'd be mad if I didn't.

  • I think you might be right, all the supplements might be getting your body back and in working order and the provera is just extending what it thinks it needs to. I would check with the doctor to see if she knows if the supplements are interferring with the provera. Good luck, hope you figure out what it is.

    Boo.

    I get anemic sometimes. I take Iron and B-Complex for a few days and get back to normal pretty quick.

    I'm interested to hear what your Dr says about all this!

  • OMG, Ash, go to the doc STAT, and if that doc can't figure it out, go to another.  I know you're sick of this, I would be too, but you need to get right already.
  • Oh no... Just when you finally think you know what your body is up to it goes and does something totally odd...  Hope that the doctor can hel you... If anybody needs the energy, it's you with your crazy schedule.
