Menstrual cycle and the pill

[Guest guest]

For the last four and a half years I have had my period every two weeks. Only

once did it change to three weeks.The first year I went to the doctor, he did an

ultra sound but no blood test. He said there was a cyst on my ovary but it

wasn't anything to worry about. It later painfully burst. Then last year I went

to

a different doctor who took a blood test and found I had Graves. My menstrual

cycle wasn't addressed. Now my endo tells me " It's just your normal cycle - it's

just you " and then asks if I want the contraceptive pill. Does anyone think that

taking the contraceptive pill will regulate my cycle in the long run? I actually

think that it is more related to a copper deficiency. I read that depleted

copper

messes up the menstrual cycle. I have been a vegetarian since I was 17. I am

now 31. I almost had anemia when I first started because I hadn't

supplemented other foods into my diet, and so the doctor told me to take iron

tablets. I had been taking iron tablets almost every day for 12 years when I

read that it damages your liver, so I stopped. Now I think that it is highly

possible that I have a very low amount of copper stored in my body and that

could be the cause of the upset.

Anyone have any ideas?
