I stayed just a tiny bit above needing an iron infusion but during the months before my hysterectomy (and maybe before my other surgery, I don't remember) they drew blood monthly to be sure I didn't need an infusion. Maybe it was because the number was so low and so close to the edge but the monthly monitoring seemed reasonable to me.

It is hard to stand up for yourself. But you need to get the care you deserve. If is something like the boggy uterus I had then all it takes is a D&C that can be done with the hysteroscopy and apparently things really improve (I have no idea since I got the Mirena from hell). The boggy uterus thing is not uncommon.

Did they do an internal ultrasound? It wasn't fun (I'm a sexual abuse survivor) but it was quick and not horrible and it gave them a good idea about what they needed to do with the surgery.
