    Carolin, have you had the constant bleeding checked out by your gyn? How old are you and are you peri-meno? How long as constant bleeding been going on? I would ask gyn about it because I have heard they can give something to stop the bleeding.

    Hi Caroline, this is true if you take tablets to slow the bleeding down it can stop your periods

    but if you do go on tablets like myself you take them for one or two for 2 days only, that's how I dealt with mine when I was medicated for it ok, hope this helps.

      Yes, take them as directed. It's only for 3 weeks. If you have doubts you should be asking your doctor.

      Hi well my Doctor said the same 3 times a day but ignore it and as I said only take for 2 days 3 times a day to stem the bleeding,also make sure you don't have fibroid like I did OK.
