I found out I was anemic last fall from heavy periods. I felt pretty good so I didn't know there was a problem until I started having problems with ovarian cysts and went to doctor for that. I started on the pill and iron supplements and my hemoglobin went back up fast. It takes longer for your iron counts to rebound. If your problem is heavy periods, you have to get that problem taken care of before your anemia will improve. That is why I started on the pill and it has really helped. I just don't want to stay on it for too long. Ask your doctor about the best option for you, but having anemia is no fun. It can cause problems for your other organs if left untreated too long. Good luck, Ann
