Cervical biopsy caused sepsis

I recently had a second cervical biospy and that same night I came down with sepsis(Blood poisioning).  The hospital emergency room did not diagnose me until three days later.  They sent me home and told me it was a fever.  Which was 108 degrees.
  Anyway, three days later I was hospitalized with sepsis and placed on an IV antibotic for 10 days, it took along time to get my fever down.  By blood count dropped to 8.  I have always been anemic and b-12 deficency all my life.
  Well, the day I was admitted into the hospital for sepsis - they placed me on heprin (I have lupus anticoagulant, sle, pulmonary hypertension etc..) I started bleeding heavly from the cervix during this time.  My obgyn thought it was the heprin and I was taken off it.  
  Well, now it is over four months later and the bleeding has increased for up to five weeks flooding the whole time.
  I have been given two iv iron treatments - which got my cbc up to 11. But, now my cbc is dropping fast down to under 9 now in less than three weeks.
  My doctors all think it is early menopause and what to give me progestin or a shot to induce menopause in hopes of stopping this excessive bleeding.  
  I still do not agree that it is early menopause.  As the bleeding did not occur until I was hospitalized with sepsis.
  I am trying to find answers.  As the cure for menopause seems worse.  And I do not want to possibly die from a stroke because of it.

I can't really comment on your symptoms, etc., but if you feel uncomfortable with the response you're getting from your current doctor, I'd get a second opinion.
