Periods on rivaroxaban

[Naniajes]

I had the coil put in back in March I'm just wondering how long it takes to reduce ur periods as I'm still having bad periods

Last time I saw my gynae she said it could take up to 6 months to kick in? Hope yours starts working soon.

I ended up expelling my coil with a clot even though I was doing everything Dr said (tranexamic acid and provera as well as coil). Im very nervous about my next period. Have been on thinners for 12 weeks now and have bled for 9 of them

I'm not even sure if the coil is still there this is my third coil I've had 2 blood transfusions I was fine on provera but they have took me off that now. I have been on thinners since September last year n it's not getting any better.

Can you feel the strings? Mine moved, the strings were short then after the clot passed they were very long, then it was expelled in another blood clot. The coil is so tiny, you might have expelled it and not realised? esp if you have been having heavy bleeding.

It's to high up carnt feel the strings but yeah could of come out and I've not noticed

Oh gosh!! Came onto the site to ask this very question. Got my period then it stopped and then out of nowhere started spotting every single day!

[Naniajes in reply to KaySid]

I've just got out of hospital from another heavy bleed they carnt find my coil had a scan but couldn't see because my womb is full of clots so they have give me the option to have womb oblation so guna try that see if it helps

I'm waiting to get the coil fitted I'm hoping it lightens my periods. I'm on rivoxaban my periods are hurrendous since starting this .

My coil has come out I think with the heavy bleed can you have the mini pill that works straight away

[tracey13 in reply to Naniajes]

I'm not sure what pill I could take I've got factor 5 Leiden it's a blood clotting abnormality.

[Naniajes in reply to tracey13]

I tried one of the older pills but not sure if that's suitable for u

Ive had the coil 18 months and still spot every day, went to gyny last week said because of anticoagulants some people never stop but the extreme bleeding without it can lead to uterine cancer so not much choice
