I just started taking this last month and my period was 2 weeks long and very very heavy with blood clot too like this month. Will it happened every month?
Xarelto - My period is very heavy and has blood clots , is this regular?

I am 38 and I have begun Xarelto about 2 weeks ago, after having pulmonary emboli. I haven't had any side effects, which is great; but, I am still just trying to process everything. I am 7 days into my first period and it is like nothing I have ever experienced before. My periods were pretty normal, irregular in the amount of time; but average bleeding, nothing crazy like this period. This period my it seem like it is never going to end. Clotting and changing out pads so often. I am quite grateful to be alive and to have found this site. So, helpful with what to expect and the side effects to look for, thank you.

Hey there, I wouldn't go that far and plan my life around my period. Live life, you're here and back in action just one a slightly different path. Everyone is different and how you may want to work this into your lifestyle is your choice but planning your entire life around cramps, bloating, and blood doesn't really sound like living. Yes it is a bit of an inconvenience until you find what works for you. And over some time it does actually get better. I thought I was a stuffed pig that was being slaughtered first month I was on Xarelto same the second and this was after going through 6 blood clots 3 in my calf and 3 in my lungs but here it is 7 months of 20mg every day and I am 5 clots free and 1 75%smaller and as far as the whole bleeding and clotting like a stuffed pig my period is maybe 3-4 days and very light like it used to be while I played 2 sports in high school.
I'm even looking into an iud without hormones being that the Dr's believe depo provera was what caused all my blood clots. So don't let 1 individual lead you to believe there is only doom and gloom and 1 way of dealing and living with this inconvenience, just cause they may not have patience, or strength or not quite really know how to deal with life they shouldn't offer a one way doom and gloom outlook. Good luck and keep your chin up

I'm in Australia and have the same issues. None of the doctors seem to know anything about Xarelto. Reading these posts have been concerning and comforting. I'm not the only one going through this. They say I need to be on it for life. But there has to be another way. You can't live like this. Constantly being tired and bleeding for weeks on end. As most of you know going out can be mortifying when spillage happens. I've found Incontinence pants are great as they avoid spillage and last longer than heavy pads. Also great at night. Not waking up in a pool. I'm going to contact Xarelto as there seems to be no guidence to GPs for heavy cycles or antidote. Feels great to be a guineapig with no solutions in sight. Maybe warfarin is a better answer.

I'm sorry to say... yes. My doctor never mentioned anything either. I've had DAYS when I cannot leave my house because the menstrual blood/clots are so heavy. This is just another layer of stress and fatigue that just adds to the health issue. I have a PE and just diagnosed with Factor V Leiden Mutation. I have been on Xeralto for only 6 weeks and I feel terrible most of the time. No energy, slow thinking, unable to multi task anymore, extremely sad and depressed. Seriously thinking I might have to quit my career as a hairdresser (27 years in the business) it's heartbreaking indeed. Good luck to you.

look into Eliquis it's a blue thinner that I switched to after 3 weeks on Xarelto. You can see my first post above from January. Xarelto was HORRIBLE! I had pain throughout my body. My hemocologist looked it up and responded that an extremely small percentage of people on Xarelto had arthritic type pain. But that was me. Our most difficult problem was getting insurance company to understand we just wanted to change the medicine, not take both Duh. I had no problems on Eliquis, normal period once. Stopped all blood thinner meds in April, Praise God. Hope this helps.

Im 27 years old and have been on Xarelto for only 2 weeks. I have never been a heavy bleeder during my periods and they usually only last 4 sometimes 5 days. I started my period yesterday and it was HORRIBLE. I don't know if Xarelto affects the pain of periods but it was demobilizing for me. I missed work and laid on the couch all day, when I finally decided I felt well enough to get up and go to the Farmers Market with my family, I had to leave because I almost fainted and the pain did not subdue until around 1030 last night.
On top of that, the bleeding was more than I've ever had in my life. I usually can wear the same tampon all day, or change it once a day, but yesterday I had to change it 4 or 5 times, and the one I put in before bed was absolutely Drenched this morning when I woke up.
I haven't noticed any blood clots passing yet, and I hope I don't because that's scary stuff, but I do actively see a Hematologist and I plan to call her today and ask her if Xarelto is why the pain increased so dramatically.

I have been on Xarelto 15 mg 2 times a day for two weeks ago for DVT IN my leg. I started my menstrual cycle a day ago after missing a month because my blood was to thick. Now I am using a pad every 30 minutes. My doctor said they can try something different but the side effects are much worse. I have chosen to stick it out a few more days but am worried that being on it for the next four months mght not be safe. Anyone able to tell me what I can try. Do the risk out way tge good results at this point?

I've been on it for 2 years in July and mine stayed about the same until this last month I ended up in the hospital with a transfusion!! The ob/gyn has suggested an ablation... I don't want more children, so I'm thinking about it!!! Sending you prayers because it sure isn't fun!!!
Charro68
21 April 2016
So it seems a lower dose doesn't help reduce bleeding/clotting every month. I'll ask my doc. about ablation. I can't go through that every month! Thanks for responding. Feeling very low today, it's a beautiful day outside and I just can't get out of bed as I am so lethargic.

I was on Xarelto for only a week, when my period hit. OMG! I couldn't leave the house for a few days and when I went back to work, I had to go home. I was changing a 10 hour pad every 20 mins. at times. I have never had large clots like this and seems dangerous to bleed so much! I am a busy hairdresser, so this is a disaster for my business and terrifying for me. Hoping when I reduce to 20mg. once a day, this will subside. Sigh... so far I hate this pricey drug. I feel dizzy and lethargic all the time as well. and I cannot tolerate any alcohol without feeling even worse than usual the next day. This sucks! I guess I shouldn't complain... I'm still here.

I am on eliquis and I am bleeding so bad! I have been bleeding and clotting for 13 days now and it isn't letting up. I am so weak. I go to the gynecologist on the 12th and then a hematologist on the 19th. I am so scared! I am 40 years old and if anyone can give me their take on eliquis it would be appreciated. They put me on it due to an unprovoked DVT. Thanks!

I'm also on Eliquis - 10mg. The very first day I started, I woke up with blood in my mouth and an extremely heavy period. I've been on my period for 17 days. I'm so depressed. I haven't been to work in over a month. Its been a HORRIBLE experience. I see a hematologist tomorrow and my gynecologist on Thursday. Just today, I have almost fainted 2x. I'm so weak. They found a PVT and told me I'll be on this thinner for 6 months. A total depressing disaster. I'm 31, no kids, my period was only 3 days prior.

I was started on Eliquis 5 days ago 20mg 2x a day due to a clot found in my lung. I started my period and it looked like a crime scene in my toilet. I'm really worried about going to sleep. I am reading all these posts of being weak and fainting and I have those issues already. I know you said you had a few appointments, do you mind sharing what your doctors suggested to you? Maybe I can ask my doc for the same help. I do home daycare and can not have heightened worries and issues of this stuff with these kids. Thank goodness I have a helper. Thank you and I do hope someone has helped find an answer for you.

Please let me know what other changes you have noticed. I know I have to be so careful cutting hair.
I'm on this drug because of blood clots in my lungs. This is a new world and I have not met any other hairdresser on this.
Thanks!

I am 27 and have been on Xarelto for almost a month now and I have been bleeding heavy and clotting like crazy ever since I have started it. Its not normal for me to have periods , I would get a period maybe 2 or 3 times a year but it was all within a normal range of blood for a period. I went to the hospital because it was so scary having such large blood clots and a heavy flow which isn't normal for me at all and they did a transvaginal ultrasound and everything came back clear. So I'm just wondering is this normal? How long will this bleeding continue? I've also devolped peeling hands and feet since I've been on Xarelto. I'm so confused and scared

Pretty much. I was actually started on a higher dose of xarelto that had to be lowered because the bleeding was so much I spent 3 months having iron infusion due to severe anemia. One I went from 20mg to 15mg the bleeding became a little more managable.

i am on xarelto as of april 2016 and was taking the 15 mg 2x a day and the clots and bleeding were a mess, I got on the 20 mg a couple weeks ago and its seems like it has gotten worse the clots are bigger and I don't get dizzy or anything,thankful for that but I have 4 months to go and I hope the blood clots in my lung are gone by then and the bleeding will stop I hipe nx month is not as bas as the last 2 months

Day 4 of Xeralto and of course started my period 2 days in and it's been a bloody nightmare. I am prone to heavy periods anyway but I am terrified as to what I'm excreting. I'm changing 10 hour pads every 10 to 20 mins.! I can't work or go anywhere like this! I speak with my doc tomorrow, I'm not going through this next month. Wondering if a different drug is the answer? Xeralto is very expensive as well, even with insurance. I feel so depressed and so weak. So glad I found this website! I'm not alone after all.

I am 46 and just started Xeralto 4 days ago. I have heavy bleeding and clots from my period. I've had this before, though not sure why, but it's been years since then. I've been very light for several months and figured my hormones are changing. It appears from these answers that my period will continue to be heavy. I see cardiologist Dr. In a week and will ask him, as well as my PCP.

I have posted before, my periods are 2weeks long passing clots the size of golf balls(irregular golf balls) some a little larger. I have to wear super ultra tampons and overnight heavy flow pads. Sometimes after sitting I stand up and I feel a flood while trying to run to the bathroom holding the pad in place I still can not make it. Its embarassing. It completely saturated and leaks through.(went through my underwear, shorts, sweats, and still got all over the couch)I can not function. I can't sleep well. I change the pads every 20 mins. Going through the big box of tampons and two large packs of pads per cycle. By the end of my cycle my hemoglobin was at 6.and I felt like a zombie. The doctors still don't know what's wrong with me... By the time my body begins to recover my period is back again my hemoglobin dropping more each month that passes. I went from 8, to 7.7 and this month the lowest 6. Scared for next cycle. . I don't want to use birth control. For fear of another clot.

my haematologist suggested taking the birth control "depo prevera"…it has stopped my bleeding by 90% - see a doctor whether it might be a good alternative - I've been on it for over a year now and it's been amazing for me.
The other alternative is having an ablation, which is less intrusive than a hysterecomy.

I'm sorry but I have to say this... i had 6 blood clots 3 in my calf, and 3 in my lungs. And my dr.'S were bamboozled because I have awesome circulation no family history great heart function etc... it was determined it was because of my birth control depro-provera shot that I have been on for about 8 years I'm 37 years old no kids very active runner. Now I'm on Xarelto 20mg a day and thankfully the clots are diminished all but 1 and some scarring but the periods are back and beyond full force bleeding and clots are an understated concern. And someone prescribing depo is scary when it was a cause of blood clots is in imaginable. I would look into that and ask your physician.
Spz4lf

Depending on the blood clots, (dvt, or Pe.) they pose a much more significant threat than extreme flow. It can take an incredibly long time to remove some clots and the result is prolonged use of this med. My wife was also prescribed a birth control in order to reduce the bleeding but not a daily (because of the potential risk of blood clots) but instead Marana (probably spelled wrong) it reduces the flow almost immediately and has worked perfectly for the last few months. On sorry was that she would feel it during... Because she is very small framed but no such issues. Only side effect is that her body is telling the hormones that she is pregnant and so it responds accordingly.
If you are experiencing mega flow and are open to a non perminant contriseptive as a fix, it may solve all your problems. Good luck with the clots elsware.

Thank you for that, I will check into it I'm 6' tall and 190lbs. Right now I'm on nothing except the Xarelto letting my body clear out of everything and was told to expect to be on Xarelto for at least another 6 months another year but if this craziness continues I may have to look into something else because this is ridiculous I don't think a person should loose this much blood every couple of weeks steadily.
Khende
23 April 2016
My thoughts exactly when I saw those recommendations. I clotted most likely because of hormones (nuva-ring) therefore no doctor would think of prescribing any hormones to control the bleeding. There's not a whole lot of options for us. I had an ablation fail to work. When the xarelto dose was reduced slightly that helped.
krc1220
23 April 2016
Things have seemed to calm down significantly the bleeding is not at all as bad yes clots are still a little out of control during my periods but I expect that for being on depo for so long that it's build up shedding. But very nervous to go back on a hormone birth control if that may be what caused the original 6 blood clots a few months ago that created this whole mess.

I'm 38. Started Xarelto July 2014. Began heavy, heavy periods with first cycle on xarelto. I became so anemic after that 1st cycle I had to go on iron supplements, those didn't work and I became even more anemic. After my 2nd cycle on xarelto I ended up spending 3 days a week for a month in the heme/onc infusion center having iron IV infused. We're done having kids so went for uterine ablation. The Nova Sure wouldn't fire, a 15 min procedure became almost 2 hrs long bc my gyn had to pull her partner in and they both spoke to 2 different Nova Sure reps, trying in vein to make it happen. In the end they gave up and tried for an overly aggressive D&C to induce ashermans symdrome. That failed to work. The bleeding is heavy and the clots are ridiculous, like post birth type passing of clots. I now have to have a partial hysterectomy. I'm cool with that bc it's also suspected I have endometriosis; only had pain, never heavy bleeding until xarelto.
***IMPORTANT TO NOTE***
Xarelto has no antidote. That means if you develop a brain or a GI bleed... you're f*****!
That's where warfarin has this med beat. They can reverse the blood thinning effects of warfarin. There's no great choice out there when it comes to this type of med. I chose this with the guidance and recommendation of my primary care and hematologist because for me the benefits outweigh the risks at the moment.

I started on this medication the first week of January 2016. I have been in pre menopause for about 6 months with menstrual cycles Only occurring every 8 weeks or so. I began another menstrual cycle on 1/28 and I have NEVER had so much and so heavy bleeding. I've yet to meet with a blood specialist and will make that appointment on Monday but it's kind of freaking me out having read some of these other posts. Anemia? Going in 2 to 3 days per month in a heme/onc infusion center having iron IV infused? Having a d and c or partial hysterectomy? This is just too much for me to handle and this drug is not worth it and I need to talk to my doctor about changing my medication.

I started taking Xarelto in January of 2016,it's really depressing me to be on this medicine because my cycle is very heavy and I do mean heavy. The clots are scaring me to death, I've never seen anything soi horrible coming out of me like this,it's almost impossible to leave home without messing up my clothes. I am a anemic and I am very weak. What would happen to me if I stop taking these blood thinners??? I didn't bleed like thus after having my son 20 years ago.
Pat Woods 1900
23 April 2016
After enough persistence with my internist, my blood doctor and my pharmacist, I was able to convince them that I absolutely WOULD NOT continue taking the Xarelto at any cost. One on my main problems, aside from the heavy menstrual periods (I'm 50 years old and had started menopause too) was the fact that I literally ached from head to toe, with like an arthritis type of pain that basically kept me bed ridden. "Oh, that is a very rare and unusual side effect" I was told. I don't care, I didn't have it prior to Xarelto and I wasn't going to continue taking that medication.
My sister was on a different blood thinner called Eliquis which worked wonderfully! We were finally able to get the insurance company to switch approvals and all was fine. I only had 2 more periods that were very light.
I just came off the Eliquis at the beginning of April, Praise God! For 2 years I need to take a baby aspirin daily.
God is so good!

No one so far has stated if they are seeing a hemotolgist while being prescribed Xarelto. If not, I would highly encourage you to make an appointment to see one immediately.
The term for the problem you are having is menorrhagia. It is a common side effect of taking Xarelto. There are 3 levels, common, uncommon, and rare. If you are having increased menstrual flow or vaginal bleeding you are suppose to be notifying your doctor. However, most doctors that are not hemotologist do not have a good handle on the side effects of anticoagulants and are unsure how to handle the side effects. All of the side effects that everyone has discussed so far are considered common side effects, and you should be talking to your doctor. At this point I would ask you doctor for a referral to a hemotologist and I would not give up until you get one if your plan requires it.
For those of you that still feel that the FDA is not doing enough or the manufacturer is not responding to you or your doctors concerns you can file an adverse reaction report with the FDA. The more registered complaints that they receive the more guidance they will give to doctors and the more pressure they will apply to the manufacturer to come up with possible treatment plans based on clinical studies. Do a search on the term "FDA Adverse Event Reporting System" to understand more about the procedure. To submit an actual report do a search on "MedWatch Online Voluntary Reporting Form" and then click on the Consumer/Patient link on the right side. Hope this helps, and remember to see a hemotologist.

I see 2 different hemotologists, and I'm on 20mg. I have the same problem with overly heavy periods... menorrhagia with fainting spells each time of thr month. I have talked to one of my hemos and he brushed off my problem as nothing. I have an appointment with my second hemo in a month and hopefully he will have some answers as he is the better of the 2. I am also seeing a obgyn and we are researching the best option for me to stop my cycle. I have seen a lot of posts that states depo was prescribed for the menorrhagia, however that was the biggest NO NO at thr top of the list of NO's for anyone with clotting history.

I am a 48 year old female and I've been on Xarelto since July 2014!! I was on Warfarn but could never get a therapeutic PT/INR... my periods have been bad!!! Multiple days and quarter size clots coming out!! I was changing pads and tampons about every hour!!! This month, I was late but I'm on my 4th day of bleeding VERY heavy and half dollar size clots coming out!! I starred using Depend adult diapers along with super plus tampons!! The cramping is almost like medium labor pains and I feel incredibly weak!!! I told my hemotoligist that it was like a crime scene and he actually laughed like I was exaggerating!! Most of my friends no longer have a period... they are my age!! I'm wondering since it's so bad... could this be the last one??? I'm thankful to have found this blog!!!

I am 27yrs old & started on Xeralto exactly a month ago today. I have had 2 periods since starting Xeralto. My 1st period started a couple days after starting Xeralto & it was unmanageable! I had the WORST bleeding & by far the biggest clots I have ever witnessed in my life, that is until today! I started my 2nd period on Xeralto last night, armed with an arsenal of overnight pads & super plus tampons I went to bed last night confident that I would wake up dry & blood free.
Boy was I wrong! My husband was so worried bc he literally said it looks like I murdered one of our dogs in my sleep! There was blood EVERYWHERE! & i only slept for maybe 4 full hours since I last changed my pad & super plus tampon! Then I stood up to get in the shower & wash our sheets & i instantly had to sit back down due to the uncontrollable urge to vomit & pass out! I have NEVER in my life felt like this before! It has now been 5 hours since I woke up & i don't feel ANY better! I seriously feel like I'm high on drugs! Extremely lethargic & dizzy, I feel like I want to vomit! I tried eating, doesn't help. I tried sleeping for 20mins & i just felt worse then I originally did! Everything feels weird to me too. My fingers felt weird, my stomache, my everything! I just want this to stop!

I see a hemotologist who works closely with my OBGYN. Frankly the experience is the same. They're more focused on trying to build my iron levels up in between cycles and PED events, but overall still just a push for hormones/birth control to counter OR "figure it out/tough it out" because they think the PEs are more important/dangerous.

I realize this was years ago but yes my hematologist and gynecologist were great to fix my problem. It was a simple procedure and everything was great for years. I certainly would not recommend skipping out on a hematologist while on this medicine.

I to just start Xarelto and have been in my period 8 days and it ain't stopping any time soon. Why is Xarelto not responding to us females with this concern. The damn commercial only has men in it they don't have these problems. I honestly believe Doctors have no ideal what to say cause they know nothing about this product, only that it was FDA approved. We need answers.

Hi. I was on 30 mg a day when I flowing really heavy. I called my doctor and she told me to skip a day of no meds and the the next day begin taking 20mg daily. It made a huge difference!! My cycle only lasted 5 days and the flow was normal. I hope this info helps...

I'm hoping after I get off this 30mg/ which is 15mg twice a day. I have two week more on this them go 20mg once a day it will change. I'm trying to hang in there and not be taken off cause this blood clot in my leg is so painful. It has helped but my period is out of control. I'm tired and feel weak at times. I'm trying to eat more veggies/ green leafy so I get more iron naturally. I pray it helps and makes a difference so I can get off it in six months.

I have been on Xaralto for 3 weeks due to clots in both lungs. My period started last night. This morning I woke to a pool in the bed and throughout the day, I have been changing pads every hour - heavy duty, extra long. My concern is how long before this becomes a health issue? I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but with my job, its no way possible. I'm going to contact my doctor tomorrow and hopefully, she'll give me some answers.
