Marydean, just want to mention with the dosage of the cyklokapron. First time I was given it I think I was told to take 1 or 2 tablets three times per day. Worked a little, but still had issues... When my FS prescribed he had me on two tablets four times a day. Worked a treat. Just wanted to drop that in there in case you were prescribed a lower dosage and perhaps needed a higher dosage like me.

Was thinking about this thread last night. And thinking back to post-partum bleeding. I lived in fear of post-partum bleeding because everyone told me it would be so much worse than a normal period. Ummm... Not for me. I'm guessing I have pretty bad periods as the only way it was worse is that it went on longer. I've had heavier periods... But that was in the days before cyklokapron and before the pill. So glad to have things under control now.

Oh, when it comes to tampons, I actually find tampax to be better than the flexia - I guess because they are longer so there's more chance for fluid to be absorbed rather than rushing through too quickly. But I don't know whether that's a me thing or something that other women find as well. I've also got things very well under control in terms of heaviness, but it may be something worth trying if you haven't already.
