Setting the scene

I wanted to get my cycle back to normal again this time like I did last time so I went to see Dr Chan and got a blood test to make sure everything was ok and I also went off the pill.

The blood test came back showing that everything was pretty much ok with the exception of my stored iron. This is pretty common after having a baby that it takes a while for the body to get back to pre-baby levels and mine hadn't quite made it back to normal so another pregnancy would take and even greater toll. So I got some iron tablets and started taking those.
