I was diagnosed with a DVT 3 weeks after having a baby. I have been on rivaroxban for nearly 3 months. Yesterday I visited the specialist and he said I could stop treatment on Tuesday but the reoccurrence rate is high during the first 2-6 weeks after stopping treatment. I am know truely petrified as my husband works away from home so it's usually just the kids and I. Does anyone have experience of a DVT in pregnancy or the postnatal period? Did it reoccur once treatment was stopped?
