Have any ladies ever taken ibuprofens to stop your periods!

Does it actually work!

How many tablets do you have to take!

I know there was a recent thread about something similar but can’t find it & I did mention about beppy sponges but if you can take tablets to stop it even better thanks

Ok ... not exactly a lady

But I will say ... the prolonged or excessive use of ibuprofen can increase the risk of digestive issues or stomach ulcers

Don't take ibuprofen to stop your periods! The long term side effects can be awful, it's not worth it! See your gp as there are contraceptive pills you can take to stop them if they cause you problems. Also the coil and implants or injections can lessen or stop periods.

Try going online and searching noresterone (not sure of spelling)

Used to be prescription only, but some pharmacy's can now sell it after a consultation

I would not advice taking ibruprofen to stop your periods. Speak to your GP who can give you medication to stop bleeding or advice on longer term options

You only have to take 3 abput 6 hours before and it will be dried up by the evening. Doing it once in a while won't cause any harm. Wouldnt advise doing continuously though. It's a widely documented side effect of NSAIDs.

They do slow down your bleeding. My GP suggested i took them when i was having trouble with very heavy bleeding, it definetely helped slow it but didnt prolong my period. It also helped with the pain, especially when taken alongside paracetemol.

It's a common side effect of anti inflammatory drugs.

I just went to the doctors and they can give you meds that you start taking before you are due on, you then come on 3 days after you stop taking them. I take them for holidays so I’m not messaging about while I want to swim etc x

Lots of women do this, though I've not.

If I want to skip a period occasionally I run two packs of my contraceptive pills together, I've never tried to stop one that's already started though.

They do reduce flow bit if you have heavy periods it,wont stop them completely. It's also not wise to do this regularly as the risk of stomach ulcers raises dramatically.

Ibuprofen reduces the amount of prostaglandins to stop/reduce the bleeding. However, it can even with short courses alter the linings of your stomach and intestines. I would also add to check for any cross reactivity if you're taking any other medication.

You can take Norethisterone to delay a period. You can get it from your docs or online. I’ve been told it’ll stop it once starts too but I don’t know about that.

I took it to delay a period, which it did, but it made me crazy hormonal. Cried for days. Not really worth it.

Agreed. Using ibuprofen for that is not a good idea and they can induce gastrointestinal bleeding in some people

Doesn't work for everyone I spend my whole period dosing up on ibuprofen due to pain and it doesn't make a jot of difference. Norethisterone works but has to be taken before your due on

Ah right I thought for a short term fix! but will go the doctors for long term solution I just can’t stick the pain anymore! I thought the older I’m getting things would get lighter & less pain but in my case it’s so not thanks anyway tho

I'm the same, doped up on 400mg Ibuprofen and still get the headaches and back pain... Wish they'd do stronger painkillers.

In that case get the mirena coil but go to a clinic rather than docs. I'm considering it myself

I've got the Mirena and haven't had a period in 7 years now. Although it doesn't stop periods for everyone.

Beppy sponges are a much less risky idea tbh. Painkiller abuse is a terrible idea.

I have awful unreliable periods, always have. I think that's just life.

I tried it once and it seemed to work. But probably not sensible to do it all the time.

I read somewhere that orgasms help too so obviously I tried that as well

Have used Norethisterone to delay periods before a holiday, brought from the online doctor, answer a few questions and comes in the post a couple of days later.
