Hey all
I've just been to chat to the doctor about my contraception; I've been getting agonising cramps since I had a coil fitted.
He's given me a prescription for tranexamic acid, and me being me, I've had a look at it on t'internet and most of what I've found says that tranexamic acid is for heavy bleeding but does not affect dysmennorhea.
Anyone else been precribed this for painful periods or know anything about it?

Did you find it was a very different kind of pain to usual cramps? For me it's a stabbing, twisting pain that comes in waves and almost feels like it's happening 'round the back' (if you catch my drift.....) It goes away for ten minutes/half an hour and then I'm on the floor again. Rubbish.
