I have been on my monthly cycle since Dec 7. I have had two blood transfusions for my hemoglobin keeps dropping very low. I have had an ultra sound and they have found a pulp but my question is what is a pulp and what does that mean, I am young and have been having very difficult monthly cycles for awhile. I have been prescribed to take 3 birth control pills a day for a period of three days and then 2 for three days and then 1 a day to hopefully stop the bleeding. I have now been told to stop taking the birth control pills to start a new cycle and go get blood work and i do not understand why. Why just have blood work and why have I not been given a physical, i am getting frustrated for i just want the bleeding to stop. I have slowed down but have not stopped.
