For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "I have been using Lysteda for almost a year now. It really helps with my heavy period and horrible cramps. I don't take it for my entire period, only for the first few days when it's heaviest and most painful. Taking this medication has caused a few problems for me, though. I used to have very regular periods, and they usually lasted about 5 days. My periods are VERY irregular now, and they are a bit longer (about 8 days)."

For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "The first few months I loved Lysteda, it really reduced the amount of blood flow, but now, while it reduces blood flow, my cycle has become irregular. My cycles are lasting over 15 days, basically every 6 weeks. So, I have stopped taking it, just going to have to deal with heavy flow for the first few days."
