I finally have a surgical consult date!



I finally have a surgical consult date: December 2.  Almost 40 full weeks after this debacle started but I guess it’s better late than never. I did my research into natural ways to fight DUB and I think my daily dose of 1000mg of Vitamin C is working its magic. Since I’ve started taking my C supplement I haven’t had any bleeding, that’s no bleeding for 19 straight days.  And since I have not been bleeding my iron came up from 5 to 8, a mere 3 points away from not being classified as anemic anymore. That’s something to celebrate! Now my hemoglobin levels on the other hand keep going down and I can’t figure out why, right now it’s at 95 and should be between 120-160. The main thing is that my White blood cell count is good and that’s the cell count that helps to fight off infection so I am happy that it hasn’t been affected throughout this ordeal. I will be getting my blood tested again in another 2 weeks or so and hopefully by that point all of my levels will have come up. As for the surgical consult I am keeping the appointment date. I have no idea what will happen with me between now and then, after all December 2 is 11 weeks away and even if my body appears to correct itself by that time I still need to address what has been happening to me since February. Wish me luck!
