If it were me I would phone your Doctor or go to the accident and emergency department, get someone to drive you. If you feel faint phone an ambulance.

Your INR seems to be high which maybe causing your bleeding so make sure you see someone today

Hope it gets better soon

HI, I hope they investigate and help, I know when I first when in Aspirin it changed my bleeding for about one month and then it all sorted itself out. Are you recently diagnosed and on the new drugs, if so that might be an explanation and it might settle down on it's own, but clearly you must be monitored, medically speaking. MaryF

What a joy it is to be a woman! I had a similar episode many years ago (long before APS was on the horizon) and had a Hysterectomy at 40. I really thought it was the best thing since sliced bread-no more periods!

Looking back there were so many little hints about APS but nobody to make a correct diagnosis from all the miscellaneous symptoms.

Hi, I found it hard to read your post due to all the abbreviations .... Anyway I think you have posted something similar to what I posted about 6 months ago.

My periods got heavier and heavier, even with a coil, which is ment to slow it down. Eventually I was having the fist sized clots every hour.... My iorn was so slow that I could not even walk. When you are at that stage you have have progesterone to stop the bleeding. This can take upto 7 days. There is the chance of clots due to heavy dose. As I could feel my clot building again , I would stop the progesterone and the bleeding would start, just as heavy as before. Fortunately I was able to have an emergency ablation to burn out the womb lining so only had to do this for 6 weeks.

If you have not finished having children this would not be an option, but it would be so difficult to get pregnant anyway with the heavy periods.

Hope you feel better soon
