Measure
Recombinant Von Willebrand Factor, Then Tranexamic Acid
Group I will receive Arm A recombinant von Willebrand factor 40 IU/kg intravenously (IV) infusion on day 1 of each of two menstrual cycles, Cycles 1 and 2. They will then be crossed over to Arm B, tranexamic acid 650 mg 2 tablets orally (po) three times daily on days 1-5 of each of two menstrual cycles, Cycles 3 and 4.
Tranexamic Acid Then Recombinant Von Willebrand Factor
Group II will receive Arm B, tranexamic acid 650 mg 2 tablets orally (po) three times daily on days 1-5, for each of two menstrual cycles, Cycles 1 and 2. They will then be crossed over to Arm A, recombinant von Willebrand factor 40 IU/kg intravenously (IV) infusion on day 1 on each of two menstrual cycles, Cycles 3 and 4.
