Having the weirdest experience w my tranexamic prescription and idk what to do abt it
#period talk ahead ->#anyways. so the first month I took tranexamic it did exactly what my doctor said it would. bleeding slowed down to the point#it barely felt like I was having a period. no clotting. it said stomach issues could be a side effect but I didn't experience that#so like. okay sure. we're not getting to the underlying problem of my weird horrible periods but we've treated 1.5/2ish problems w them so.#whatever.#2nd month I couldn't even take them bc my period started and by the time I could take the first dose it was already over#like. it was that short of a period. terribly heavy bleeding and clotting for roughly 4 hours and then it was done.#weird and definitely concerning but I knew better than to take off work for a dr visit cuz they wouldnt do shit#now we're on the 3rd month. again pretty heavy bleeding but it starts close enough to one of the dosage times that I can start the pills#but this time it hasn't slowed the bleeding down as much and there's a ton of clotting.#I'm also having weird hunger pangs that remind me a lot of when I was on steroids and it's fucking constant#also. last time I took them my cramps pretty much went away. and they haven't at all this time#and my abdomen is lowkey kinda sore at this point.#anyways. idk what to do cuz my dr told me to stay on them for 6 months before following up#but technically I've only taken them for 2 months.#but already I'm noticing decreased... whatever it's called when something works#but if I understand how this pill works according to my doctor it shouldn't lose effectiveness#both my OB and my PCP touted this as a practical miracle drug.#so anyways. I just don't know what to do lmfao#I really wish they'd just listened to me and put me under to do a biopsy or something cuz there's just no way this is normal#I just don't have the energy to fight back anymore.
