For Menstrual Disorders "I have been battling periods that have massively impacted my life. Tranex has done one key thing - I am no longer on house arrest for my entire period. I now take a progestin-only mini pill and Tranex. The efficacy of tranex seems to be related to quickly getting it into my system and taking it for the full 5 days. After 3 days, I feel like I can venture away from the house. I am often crampy, achy, and my stomach hurts. I feel full of pressure and need to pee. I have headaches and my energy level sucks. Since I felt like rubbish before tranex, I can’t assume my problems are related. There are two things that I think are related to the meds - my heart seems to beat faster after taking the pills and I have weird joint twinges. What concerns me most is the frequency I take it. My period often returns a few days after stopping tranex - when this occurs, I start another 5-day cycle. This overuse scares me, but I feel the positives currently outweigh the negatives."

For Menstrual Disorders "It made my period cramps worse, and the bleeding was so much more intense. Luckily, it only lasted 5 days, not 8, per usual."
