Xarelto - My period is very heavy and has blood clots , is this regular?

I hope not, I don't know that my body can deal, I hope someone with experience will answer. I really would like to know too. Considering the ER at this point

I just found out last (7/22/17)month that I have DVT, along with severe anemia Hemog. Was @7.7, I had started my period in the hospital on the 23rd. My periods have always been VERY HEAVY and a full 7 days. On Xarelto now(20mg 1xdaily). Started my period last night, and today had the worst experience:( Watching TV with my boys(identical twin boys 9yrs) I felt a gushing sensation, and from the front, all through the back.. terrible!

I'm a 37 year old female and I was first diagnosed with a superficial clot (side of the knee) in October 2016 (ironically, about a month after coming of the pill). Eight weeks later I was diagnosed with a DVT in the calf. After self injecting Clexaine for 15 days I was prescribed Xarelto (15 mg once daily) for another two and a half months. My period was much heavier while taking Xarelto during those 3 months although thankfully my cycle length was normal. One month ago I was diagnosed with another clot. I spent 21 days on 30 my of Xarelto (15 my twice daily). I've just started 20 mg of Xarelto (once daily). After 4 clots in 5 months looks like I'm on blood thinners for life. My periods are heavy yet again but what I'm curious about is whether anyone else is experiencing severe period and pelvic pain as well as heavy bleeding during their menstrual cycle?

I started Xarelto 3 weeks ago and experienced no symptoms or side affects at first. But when my period came, it was absolutely horrible. Just like the other women on the post, my bleeding is heavy, extremely heavy and clotting is a major concern for me because I have never experienced that. I went to the doctor and asked her about it. She said maybe month 2 will be better when the dosage decreases. I was on Warfin previously and I never experienced periods like this. If my second month is the same, I am going to a specialist and will request to be back on Warfin. I can't live like this the rest of my life. There is no quality of life when you have to change out your tampons as often as I do and when you are messing up your clothes even in your sleep. I think Xarelto is for males.

My third period when I started on xarelto in December was like that too and lasted I could not leave my house but I got described cycloapron and that turned onto be my life savior. I take them during my period and I can have normal life. I had a blood clot in the brain that caused a stroke and I am 42 years old so I have to remain on blood thinners rest of my life but if you bleed a lot go see your doctor because I nearly got anemia. Bleeding so much.

Unfortunately it did for me until the doctors took me off of it and I needed to use hormones to control the bleeding. It got longer and heavier each month. Very scary.

I was diagnosted with PE on sept 9th and put on xarelto..i have been in my period since 11th of september..I already had one transfusion of blood..and I feel like nobody knows what to do about it..I am discouraged and angry..this is not a life with constant periods

Yes, most likely. I switched to a newer med that started with a C, but don't recall name.

Hi I am 40 years old and have DVT. I was started in eliquis and my period is so bad and I am at day 13. I am also so weak and tired. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue with eliquis? Thanks!

I have been on xarelto for 7 weeks for a DVT in my leg. I am also having the horrible bleeding with my periods that you are all talking about. I am on 20mg a day at this point. I have an appointment with a hematologist. My question is to those of you who may have had a hysterectomy. We're you taken off of the xarelto for a while before the surgery??? I had a hysterectomy planned but the DVT occured so now it's on hold. Does the clot have to completely be dissolved before having a hysterectomy?? Thanks for helping. I'm so glad I'm not alone in this.

I suffered a PE in late March 2016. I was on Coumadin initially with normal periods. I started xarelto 20mg in May. My first period in June was horrible. 14+ days, super tampons and overnight pads filling each hour. My OB/GYN put me on progesterone. My July period started three weeks ago very light. I was hopefully. Last Sat it turned into a more normal flow. Still was happy with that. But now, the past two days, the crazy heavy flow, clots, changing pads every hour has started again. I have to figure out what to do. Getting married in 2 weeks. Can't bleed like this on my wedding day. I have my final fitting today and I'm so nervous about getting blood on the gown. Ahhhh. To say nothing of the horrible quality of life this brings. Someone keeps posting about changing to Eliquis but if you look on the threads, woman seem to have this same issue on that. Oh. And I have had an ablation. Maybe time for a hysterectomy ASAP?

I am 28 years old and have been on xarelto for 8 months and will be indefinitely. I have been seeing a hematologist and receiving iron infusions to counteract the anemia i have as a result of my heavy cycles. It is unbearable and my doctors have recommended a hysterectomy. I have 4 living children so i am a good candidate for such a procedure. Birth control can cause clots and i already have a genetic predisposition for clotting. I went off the xarelto for less than a month to try to avoid the horrendous bleeding and was hospitalized with a pulmonary embolism. I sympathize with anyone going through the same thing and hope they can sort these problems out.

Yes! Ditch the tampons and get the longest, most absorbent, thickest pads you can find. You have to really start planning your life around your period now... it sucks! absolutely sucks!
