Good!

Good luck and I hope it's nothing more serious than wonky hormones

Luckly I don't take any meds. Just a one a day vitamin and Niacin.
Niacin? Were you prescribed that or are you just taking it on your own?

Niacin has blood thinning properties and could very well be contributing to the fact that you are still bleeding.

Make sure you mention that to the doctor you see tomorrow.

I thought that they could but I quit taking them when this started and it continued on.

Niacin is for flushing the kidneys and energy/metabolism.

Looked it up says you have to take 2000mg or more of Niacin to have that effect.

Doses of inositol hexaniacinate higher than 2,000 mg a day may have a blood-thinning effect.
I am under that by a long shot.

Well, what happened. what is the diagnosis? what do you need to do?
inquiring minds want to know.
