Tablets :(

Hello Ladies,

I'm wanting a little help and information please. I'm taking Transexamic Acid and Norethisterone at the same time. They stopped my bleeding for about two weeks. But now I'm bleeding constantly I feel tired all the time.

Have any if you ladies taken these tablets and had this problem. I have High Blood Pressure & Diabetes Type 2 insulin dependent. Could this be why the tablets are not working. Or is it because the Endometriosis is over riding the tablets.

Thank you :)

It's a high possibility, if you are taking them as instructed the norethisterone alone should stop the bleeding I was on both of them tablets for years, it might be worth calling your doctor's and speaking to them as they may try an alternative option for you, hope this helps.

I take both of those tablets but only for a few days when I have a period because my doctor and gynecologist explained that they can be dangerous if you take them for long periods. Have you had your iron levels checked? That may sound silly but I need and I found out my body can’t retain iron. Since I have taken my meds for that my periods are really heavy still but they aren’t for 9-10 weeks at a time which was what I had previously been experiencing. Now they are a week or slightly more and I use those tablets which you take for the first 4 days maximum.
