    The first time I used it, it did not work. But since I paid $25 for it, I tried again. The second time I used it I experienced and shorter less painful period. The third time, I barely had cramps and my period was reduced. I have had severe cramps since I was 11 and am now 34. This works and I may stop taking the pill if it can completely reduce the pain. Where was this 23 years ago?

I've just been taking this medicine for about 2 months when I am cramping. Yeste ... Show Full Comment

    I have been taking this medication since I had my 3rd child 3 years ago, after my first cycle after giving birth, the bleeding was so heavy I had to leave work after making a huge mess (while wearing a pad AND tampon nonetheless) and was very embarassed upon arriving to emerg. The Dr there prescribed this medicine and has helped me regain control of my life. As long as I take it 2-3 days bef ... Show Full Comment
