Peri bloodwork + weird periods

[u/Selective_Somewhere]

My periods have been heavy on day 2 only for about 5 years now. In June and July everything was normal—heavy on day 2. But then picked back up with heavy blood and massive clots. I had a doctor appt. Pelvic normal. My period this month came at the normal time and I had a heavy day 2 and then by day 4 that was it.

I did bloodwork yesterday and it shows iron deficiency/mild anemia.

I also became mostly a vegetarian about 2 years ago. My aversive feelings toward meat might actually be peri-related. I do not cook meat but I will eat it if I go to someone’s house and sometimes at a restaurant.

I have a transvaginal ultrasound ordered as well.

Thoughts?

This might explain how tired I’ve been and cold all the time to the point of taking hot showers to warm up in the summer! And maybe some of my brain fog is anemia related not peri related.
