Pica after M/C????

I had my MC the end of May and bled for a month (not heavy but consistent).  Two weeks ago I had my first period and thought I was going to bleed to death.  It was sooooooo heavy!  It's gone now but I think I'm going crazy.....

I want to smell gas, chemicals, and wet dirt just smells amazing.  I don't want to eat it (maybe I just know better) but it's driving me crazy.   I know this isn't normal.

I emailed my Dr. and he ordered an iron test for me today.  Has this happened to anyone or should I be setting up my appt. for the looney farm?

The looney farm just called - they have a beautiful white fitted jacket and a special padded room all set up for me.

well at least the jacket is fitted.  it will be slimming.  lol.  sorry, i have no idea about your question but it sounds likely that it is probably pica like you said.

Pica normally comes with low iron -- and after all the bleeding, it would shock the hell outta me if your iron is normal.

But hey, if you go in the looney bin, save me some benzo's, kay?  I'm hilarious on valium...

It sounds like low Iron or another mineral deficiency to me. I would get it checked hun before you get high off the fumes. lol.

Perhaps you should garden some.
