@Alex I have a low iron diet (no meat) and this is the second week of my menses in a row so I'm probably anemic. I could check for conjunctival pallor but I'm lazy.

are you anemic, or is it just a deficiency right now?

@georgia @Alex Iron deficiency is easy to test since it shows up in simple blood tests. Go get them done. Doesn't sound normal and could indeed be anemic.

menstruation + vegetarian diet does often cause iron deficiency, it sounds relatively normal. as long as she knows what's probably causing it and how to treat it, it should be fine. like if iron helps it's probably iron.
