You need to go to the drs- why should you look a fool? I wouldn't rush but wait until your period is over- unless it goes on and on for days and you are losing gallons.

Definitely go to the gp. Definitely. You're not a fool. If I had that much blood and hadn't missed 6 months, I'd still go.

When in doubt, just go. You're paying them, remember?

Take care Trace2, sounds like you have a lot on your plate.
Maybe your GP might be able to help you? get your iron levels tested anyway - you might be anaemic?
