Can Ibuprofen cause a heavy period?

AnswerWell, I think it does. I haven't tried it, so, I wouldn't know.Many articles i have read online have have 2 different theories. Some women say that it does, some say that it just makes it heavier because it "thins your blood." I guess that it just depends on your body; it may for some people, may not for others.
