Read my last response. The same hormone tests may pertain to you as well. Bleeding tests including a clotting test and evaluation for von Willebrand's disease (clotting problems) needs to be evaluated. Depending upon your age, a sonogram of sonohysterogram may also be needed to evaluate the inside of the uterus.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
