anemia and menorrhagiaFrom: Pam (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 19 Dec 1997 16:37:52 -0600 (CST)
I've been diagnosed with menorrhagia. Between a vaspal aspiration, D&C, two hysteroscopies, a pap smear, various ultrasounds, and blood work, no cause of menorrhagia has been found. Months of provera, and then provera combined with estrogen, did not solve the problem. Cancer, endometriosis, fibroids, polyps, and thyroid problems have been ruled out. My doctor has suggested Depoprovera, which I am quite concerned about taking. I want to have a child, but had been told within the last six weeks by two ob-gyn's that my time is running out, that should I want to become pregnant, I should do so soon. Since this past menstrual cycle has resulted in very low blood levels (8.8 hemoglobin?), and I have been very weak, headachy, fatigued, etc., my doctor has recommended I try to become pregnant asap. He says I cannot afford to go through this (blood loss) again. Should I not become pregnant during this coming ovulation, and next month, have another excessive period, I am quite sure he will recommend Depoprovera or uterine ablation. Are there other treatments or causes, I may be able to consider, or rule out, before I am faced with losing my ability to conceive a child?
