Hello!! My name is Mimi. I was just recently diagnosed with PCOS after 3 years of irregular, heavy and painful bleeding; 2 blood transfusions and extreme weight gain and hair loss. My drs started me on a medicine regimen that seemed to have things looking up until last week. I bled for 4 out of 6 weeks from Dec to Jan with 2 weeks in between. When she checked my hemoglobin again I'm at a 6.8 and she wants me to get another transfusion but i don't want too. Im a new nurse graduate at a new job and already I've missed 3 days because of this. Im going for an iv iron infusion and i pray it brings my hemoglobin up enough to not need another transfusion. I'm always tired, im buying new sheets every month cuz i mess them up. I cant work out but i need to lose weight. Its all horrible and no one seems to understand. My family just says take your iron pills and get some rest. I guess this is my venting post to people who get me. Thank you!!!
