Any one prescribed Relugolix? Fibroids/ heavy bleeds

I have a large fibroid 6 cm and been bleeding heavily for 4 week. Had heavy periods for the past year usually lasting a week. Had an emergency gynaecology appointment and they have prescribed this saying it will stop my periods, shrink fibroid and can be used as birth control.
It is a new drug amd there seems to be very little info online about it.
Wondered of anyone had any experience of being on it?

I am on Ryeqo, which I think is the same drug. I can't help much at this point though as I've only been on it a couple of weeks (also for very heavy fibroid bleeding). It's a bit alarming being on something so new!

I took it day 1 of my period and so far have noticed zero difference with bleeding, but my consultant did say it can take several months to work fully (and the internet seems to suggest a lot of women just see reduced bleeding rather than their periods completely stopping). I'm a bit dubious tbh, but we'll see!

Thanks for reply. I bet i will be one of those women. I had the mirena coil fitted still had periods. Breast fed still had periods. Fingers crossed this works for me
