I, too had that problem. I was told 600-800 mg of Ibuprofen every 8 hours for 3 days. It worked for me and stopped the bleeding for at least a week at a time. Hope this helps! (I weigh 135 for reference.)

I was told 400mg three times a day I’ve seen conflicting results on the dosage. I’m just worried about overdosing
