Best of luck.
i know that but it is not covered through the state, it is an out of pocket expense. one female gyno i saw in 2006 didn't think it was bad if there were clots i saw when having my period. they didn't see it "as a threat" to my health or something.

i used to have a horrible bloody stench that would just wreak! i haven't seen a female gyno since 09 when i was still on my parents' insurance when i was in college that is when i got kicked off because i was graduating the next year.

however, the current male doc and last male doc have been very concern about my period because i am now anemic because i have very heavy periods which results in losing a lot of iron. so, i do eat iron-enriched foods to replenish or drink green drinks that have a lot of iron in them. previous male doc said i am losing red blood cells it is not the 42 count it was like 32 of 36 something like that.
