I take a combo pain pill for my migraines that includes aspirin a couple times a week, so, I end up taking it several times during my period. I've read that aspirin can increase your bleeding. Is it a really siginificant amount? I think the medication has the equivilant of one or two aspirin in it, and I take one capsule of it a couple times during my period. Just wondering if it is important enough to call my neuro to switch to the tylenol-containing one...hadn't really thought of this until today at the gyno. She was saying that my IUD periods could still shorten or reduce in flow in the next few months as I've only had two. (crossing fingers) If it would actually make a difference, why not.
She also mentioned that Ibuprofin taking during your period can also reduce flow, besides being best for cramps. I really don't get cramps, so don't bother taking anything...I'll have to give that a try too. She recommended up to 800mg.
