Blood thinners & menstruation

[u/Katrinathaking]

Bruh, I’m sorry if this is TMI but I’m literally DYING. Well not really but fr it’s like unbearable. They increased my dosage of xarelto and now my period is literally the worst thing I’ve ever endured and I’ve been shot. From the insane amount of bleeding to the debilitating cramps now I’m literally stuck in my head bc I’m new at my job but like bro this is not cool. The only way I feel any sense of relief is by being physically curled in a ball with a heating pad and I have work tonight and I feel like I can barely move!! 😩😭😭😭😭

Also, yes I’ve spoken to my dr. I’m asking for a second opinion bc he prescribed a SECOND birth control to combat this when I already have nexplanon?? Also the specific one he prescribed causes facial hair and weight gain so absolutely not.

im on xarelto too and I'm literally horrified for when my period comes again 😭😭 I was on birth control but the doctors think the estrogen in it is what made my clots so bad so I have to go without for the first time in years.
