How is the severity of AA classified: ie. the difference between mild and severe forms? Can a mild form evolve into a severe one? Should women[20s] consider treatments which inhibit their menstrual cycles, in order to reduce blood loss? Are there any "alternative" therapies which are effective; short of BMT or an immunosuppressive regimen?

The difference between mild and sever are the levels at which the blood counts stand.
These are the level boundaries to be diagnosed with AA;
Haemoglobin <10 g/dL
Platelet count < 50 x 109/L
Neutrophil count <1.5 x 109/L
These are those for severe;
Neutrophils <0.5 x 109/L
Platelets <20 x 109/L
Reticulocytes <20 x 109/L
And Very Severe;
neutrophils <0.2 x 109/L
Women of menstruating age are advised to use drug treatment to either stop of reduce bleeding when platelets stand at less than around 30 but of course every case is individual.
There are some cases that have been treated with an immunosupresive drug instead of the chemotherapy option of ALG/ATG along with transfusions but this is generally a treatment for the effects of the illness compared to trying to "cure" it which is the aim of a BMT and ATg/ALG.
Hope this helps x
