She feels at this point that the problem could be related to my heavy periods. She suggested I might want to go on the pill to help, but I am trying to avoid that because I also get occasional migraines, which are more frequent when I am on the pill. So, we are just taking it day to day at this point. I actually will be going in to have my blood work done again in a few weeks. I am hoping to see some changes, but I can almost tell.....nothing has changed because of the way I feel.
