When a person bleeds that much every month it is very hard to keep replacement of iron going at a fast enough rate even when you are healthy.
I know that raisins are higher in iron as is spinach which is much better in a salad than cooked. Egg yolks have a fair amount and Malt o Meal contains 50% of the daily requirement in a serving plus it is so darn good.
I am assuming that you have had your blood checked for conditions that would prevent clotting. I am wondering what you doc plans to do with you when an endometrial ablation doesn't work. Have you ever had a D&C??? Did it help??
The reason I asked is because I bled a lot all my life with my periods and I also had small hemmorrhages every time I had a baby. When I had by hysterectomy in 1990 by gyne said it was no wonder I bled. He said that the blood vessels feeding my uterus were as big around as his thumb. When he told me that I was really glad to have had that surgery instead of trying to treat the problem medically. I messed with the bleeding about 8 months big time and at age 46 thought this is enough of this. Never sorry and wished I had done it many years earlier.
Hope you can get this taken care of soon one way or the other. Miserable way to live.Irish
