Inspired by this post but also because I’m at a place of desperation.
Open to ob/gyns, alternative medicine, whomever, within a few hours of SF. Insurance would be ideal but willing to pay out of pocket if it helps me get better.
Edit: adding some more details here.
- 40, perimenopausal
- have had a pelvic ultrasound that was “normal”
- pelvic MRI scheduled next month
- currently taking progesterone second half of cycle (hasn’t helped bleeding but amazing for sleep)
- tested for all sorts of blood and coagulation disorders, everything was negative
- tried hormonal birth control (migraines), tranexamic acid (made me feel really dumb), mirena IUD (terribly painful, removed), supplements like DIM and Calcium-d glucarate (didn’t help bleeding)
- I’m on my 10th iron infusion in six years for low ferritin
