For Menstrual Disorders "Let me just say last month from the evening of the 1st to the morning of the 3rd I used 50 pads! A few tampons too! I started Lysteda on the evening of the 1st this month, yes it was lighter! 28 pads in 2 days. Day 3 and 4 got heavier! Today I had clotting like I've never seen in my 30 plus years of having a cycle (dollar bill size). The cramps were so bad I felt like I was in labor! I do suffer from fibroid tumors and anemia due to heavy bleeding. I'm having a hysterectomy next month, and my doctor wants me to take these pills again next month. I will not take any more of these pills! Not 1 more!"

For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "I've been taking this for 2 months now, been bleeding for 18+ months ... with small changes, slightly less bleeding, but it still won't stop ... the clots are also ridiculous as well."

For Menstrual Disorders "I was diagnosed with fibroids, a tipped uterus, and a small ovarian cyst - causing extra heavy and erratic cycles. I really don't want surgery, so my GYN put me on Lysteda. I loved it for the first couple of months -- after the 2nd month, my cycle started occurring every 2-3 weeks. One month it did not happen at all. Then the last 2 cycles seemed to be normal - until the end, then they started all over again with clots and heavy bleeding. Back to my GYN. Looks like I may have to have the surgery after all."
