There are over 300+ known causes of anemia. But I can almost guarantee that's what you have. You'd need a blood test to guarantee it, so just suck it up and go for it. But be sure you're getting a LOT of B-12 or B complex, and also folic acid and a lot of Vitamin C, plus Iron supplements. Daily if not twice a day or as much as suggested by your doctor.

But the thing is, anemia doesn't cause heavy menstrual flow, heavy menstrual flow causes anemia. I think it can be vice versa, as well.. I'm not sure precisely. Never really brushed up on that area :P

But yeah, blood tests are the way to go.
