I'm glad to say I've not been bothered with this but an old friend of mine suffered terribly month after month and had a very unsympathetic doctor. She eventually changed doctors.

You should! If it's really bad it can make you anemic and that might account for some of the symptoms you've been having like the tiredness.

I had them, and went on depo provera for 5 years and then switched to an IUD for the last 4 and a half. it sounds interesting, but this is working for me and I am afraid to switch! lol
