Answer

Well, 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. I would try it though; just make sure to not take over 1000 mg because ibuprofen can tear up the lining of your stomach.

Answer

I always take ibuprofen whenever I have period cramps, and I've never noticed any difference in the amount of blood.
