Hi ladies - I am currently taking 4mg daily of Coumadin and just was wondering if/how anyone's periods have changed from taking it? I am due to get my period any day and I am absolutely dreading it! I guess that's what I get for looking it up online sad Any info/experiences would be helpful. Thank you so much!

      Good to know. Truthfully since I posted this question I have not had a problem with it. My periods have been pretty much normal other than being maybe a day longer but honestly not any heavier. Thanks for your response and good luck smile

    Hi I've been on apixaban for a few months now and not had one period! I'm dreading having one as they were awful before I was taking the blood thinners!
