I understand your frustration. I had similar symptoms that resulted in extreme anemia and required me to be hospitalized twice for transfusions. I had an ultra sound and MRI done and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. My OB/GYN wanted to do a hysterectomy but I wanted to keep my uterus. I am happy to say that I chose a much less invasive treatment called a U.F.E. (Uterine Fibroid Embolization). They block the arteries that feed the fibroids, so they shrink naturally. The incision was the size of a pencil lead and recovery was about one week or so. It worked and my cycles are much lighter and clot free! You can read about Fibroids and the U.F.E. procedure at: Ask 4 UFE.com If it is not fibroids, find out what is causing the symptoms. Anemia is nothing to mess around with.

Make sure to have blood tests to make sure you are not anemic. If you are, I recommend the Floradix Liquid Iron Supplement. It is an easy to digest liquid form of iron (yes it tastes good too) that will not constipate you and works better than any other I tried. It is available in most health food stores.

Most of these symptoms are caused by estrogen dominance, so taking estrogen can just create more long term problems. Also, eating commercial meat & dairy makes this condition worse because of all the added hormones that don't break down in the body. I learned about all this in the book called What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause Balance Your Hormones and Your Life from Thirty to Fifty - by John R. Lee, M.D., Jesse Hanley, M.D. and Virginia Hopkins. I also started using Life-Flo Progesterone Cream (it's paraben free) to help balance my hormone levels.

I encourage you to take care of this right away and wish you the best.

Dear Sandy,
If you are eventually diagnosed with uterine fibroids, it is best that you read the latest updates on non-invasive, outpatient treatment options using HIFU and MR guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS):
Focused Ultrasound Surgery: MR guided (Magnetic Resonance)
Wish you the best of health.

i'm sure my child was concived on 7/14, on 7/29 i had a feeling i should take a hm test. to my surprize it was +. the very next day i had cramping & spotting then i passed 2 rasin size clots. i called my doc who said come the next day. so i did , he check me and said i seem fine but wanted to make sure so he set up an us. i went back to his office right after , he side it look like an eptopic so he suggested I termanate it and sent me to the er to get the shot (i forgot the exact nane but it starts w/a M) anyway i was so hurt , i ask GOD to send me a sign if i should not go thur with it. Of course he did. The er doc said he felt it was to early to tell and he did not feel he should termanate it . He ask that i wait 2days to see if my HGC levels went up. At the time it was 370 , two days later it was 970 so i did anoter US 4 days later . the ER doc was correct it was just to early , my baby had moved to my uterus and everything looked great my HCG level was now 2400. my doc had said if i were only a couple of week (which i was) my hm test would NOT have been +. That was WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE ALL CONTINUES TO GO WELL . I HAVE LEARNED A LESSON OUT OF ALL THIS "TRUST GOD NOT MAN" !! DONT RUSH TO DO ANYTHING MK SURE U GET YOUR HCG LEVELS TESTED 3TIMES IN ONE WEEK BEFORE YOU TERMANATE YOUR UNBORN CHILD.
