    Christy because you are bleeding so often don't forget to make sure that eat lots of iron rich food to try and keep up your iron levels.

    Fingers crossed everything settles down

    Yeah I apparently can't absorb iron from food either, so I am on triple iron supplements atm because I can't seem to get normal levels of iron any other way. Next step is injections and I'm hoping all my supplements & tonics etc get my levels up. Its bad enough having to get B12 injections.

    Christy, your acupuncturist should be able to help with this. I am having acupuncture for cycle regulation, I weaned Elijah 12 months ago and was sick of the unpredictable, heavy periods... so far so good! its looking like I will have a normal monthly cycle this month! WOOT! They suggest a minimum of three months to correct it but it's my first month and I am happy.

    mmm I have been a few times now for it.... so far.... so purging. She put me on herbs to "clean me out" and ummmmm yep thats what its doing. Last Friday/Saturday I could have been in early labour, the cramps came & went regularly and *TMI* a lot of gunk came out!! I saw her again on Tuesday & she said "ohhhh you must have had fibroids () Thats what happens". So I'm still on AF or maybe its just the end of the purge (been bleeding now for 11 days straight.... ) I'm tired, eating red meat daily, eating spinach daily, and gobbling the iron tablets like you wouldn't believe (with vit C of course).
