He told me to drink more fluids and to take an multi vitamin. So I am going to do both things. I am happy to report the bleeding has FINALLY slowed down, I think I will sleep fine tonight. HURRAY! :D

Dear Pam,
It sounds like you are on your way back to being ok.
You still have a gyn appointment coming up soon -- is that right?

Taking vitamin C pills or eating foods high in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits or juice, at the same time you eat iron-rich foods or take your iron pill can help your body absorb the iron better.

Some foods block the absorption of iron. These include coffee, tea, egg yolks, milk, fiber and soy protein. Try to avoid these when you're eating food high in iron.

Yup sept. 4th. WIll be the first time I see her too, so I hope she's willing to schedule ablation and removal of the bad ovary when we meet at that first appt. If not I am gonna seriously be a little disappointed and ask WHY, won't let this slide, it needs doing ASAP...

BJ 08-18-2009 06:47 PM

I'm so glad this has finally slowed down for you Pam. I hope you can get in and get this taken care of ASAP. :hug:

You know what else is good for low iron...watermelon. Watermelon is the 'iron fruit'. I don't remember why though.

Pamster 08-18-2009 08:15 PM

Thanks BJ, I will have to snag some watermelon while they are still in season, I didn't know that about them. :D

It's good to see you, I am not gonna let the oby/gyn doc leave the room without telling me she's gonna DO the ovary cyst removal and hopefully the ablation too, because I do NOT want to stay on BC pills you know? :p

BJ thanks from me too for the watermelon is high in iron.

I am on iron supplements, but I still can't get enough.
So I really watch and try to get a couple of foods a day to help.

And I've been craving watermelon. Now I think I know why.
I want it when I feel really tired and upset. And that is usually
when my iron is dangerously low.

Sorry Pam, Didn't mean to hijack on you.
But I can totally understand wanting this thing gone. Good luck.

WOw, that was one great ER doctor.

You now know who to see. I wouldn't go again unless he was on call, if it
was for this.
