[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my checkup several months ago I asked my doctor what I could do about extremely heavy, and getting heavier with age, menstrual flow. Her first 2 recommendations were BC pill or Mirena. I'm not interested in either - I've had Essure for sterilization so I don't really feel like taking BC.

So she suggested ibuprofen as soon as it starts. This is the first month I've remembered. I was googling dosage amount and it seems to be all over the place - regular dosage (200 mg), double dosage (without going over daily recommended amount), etc.

If you've had success with ibuprofen lightening your flow, what dose do you take?[/quote]

You should have been offered Novasure with your Essure. It's not too late to get it. I day outpatient. Do it on a Friday and make sure your doctor gives you a prescription for the good stuff. This is the important part: Check into a hotel after. Do not go home! Your family will swear they won't bother you. They are either lying or delusional. The hotel is your best friend. Get close and personal with your heating pad. Order light food via room service (nothing that would cause a big poop). Sleep as much as possible. Come home on Sunday afternoon.[/quote]
