>>Please call your doctor office and ask to be seen earlier. If the receptionist gives you the run-around ask to speak to a nurse or medical assistant, explain your problem , tell them when you had the baby, all info. They should be able to work you in. My dr. has worked me in if I had problems that need to be seen. Your bleeding needs to be diagnosed. You could be anemic. Good luck.
