Can I please say 'thank you' to whoever recommended tranexamic acid?

For the first time in several years I have managed to get through a period without bleeding onto my clothes / the bedsheets / anything. I really, really can't thank you all enough.

I'm going to try it for the next 2 cycles and then try one without it, I think.

Awww - thank you! It's pills you can buy over the counter, to help with v heavy periods. I would never have known anything about them without the wonders of MN. :)

Just a quick question...how much did you pay over the counter? I've had that and mefanatic (sp??) acid prescribed so wonder if it will be cheaper to buy over the counter instead.

It's very annoying though as my sister and I have v similar symptoms but see different Drs. I get given meds and she is getting a hysterectomy lucky bugger!
