I've suffered from heavy periods for years but its getting worse and really controlling my life (dont really want to leave the house on days 2 & 3!!)

Gp wanted to put me on the pill or have a mirena coil but as I dont want anything hormonal she gave me a prescription for tranexamic acid instead.

Anyhow, stupidly I googled the side effects and one of the main ones was an upset tummy and as I already suffer from IBS that put me off. But I was speaking to a friend today she said she had been taking tranexamic acid and they have really helped her and with no side effects.

Have any of you ladies tried it and did you get any side effects?
