Thal and Menstrual Cycle

My daughter has thal minor and her periods just knock her for a loop, looking for any suggestions from members as to what they have done to easy the monthly cycle.

Should not she is taking all recommended supplements, D, Folic Acid, B Complex, Omega

Have you ever checked her for iron deficiency? and remember our Motto "stay hydrated " 

She's had a lot of health issues and they say thal minors are supposed to be asymptomatic, I could give them an earful !!!

Iron levels have been ok, but we do try to increase her red meat and dark green at this time. 

Hi,I been having the same problem for some time now,I had a lots of problems since i get to now im having this thalasemia but even before when i was small i was parently very ill,but Godknow only...I had problem about 2 months a go with my period my gp nly say that its because of thalasemia so he give an tablets to stop after 4 days,advise it wount stop,the blood problem is not easy to fight at all.good luck.

I have Thal Minor and my menstrual cycle has been a problem all my life. I am now in my 40s. My doctor recently inserted an interuterine device into my uterus and my periods are much lighter and I no longer get the sick feeling. Not sure if this would be approprioate for your daughter but it works for me

I've always had a lighter period while taking birth control pills. Whenever I stop I get heavier bleeding and increased severity of symptoms. Had my oral contraceptive recommended by a doc after a whole history was taken down. Never had issues with it.

i m 23yrs married & nt having periods 4m 6 month who should i consult.

Ammi, is your iron high?

HbH.... I have always had a rough time with my "time". 31 years old now, and i just know that the week before will be not very productive.  I am interested if anyone else has any tips.... I CRAVE Steak and Spinach during this time, but my Iron is on the high side.....
