 Blood Clots, Now off BCP's
Hey All,
I was DX'd about a year ago only because I went to get laser hair remova; done and had to let it grow for 2 weeks. It was at my mother's OBGYN's office, when the doctor came in he took one lok at my face and said he wanted me to come back so he could run some tests...I looked like the bearded lady in a freak show. Going to work was tons of fun!
Anyway, I was put on Yasmin, but after a few months I was still very nauseas so he changed to YAZ. The nausea stopped and my periods became regular which was great! He said I would begin to lose weight, but he was wrong, so he added Met.
A couple weeks ago my ankle began to hurt, since I am on my feet all day assumed I injured it somehow. I bought a brace and iced it but the pain increased. I finally decided to see a podiatrist becasue when I woke up most mornings I could barely stand on it. The podiatrist sent me to get a doppler test since I had a deep vein in my foot.
Turned out I have a DVT, luckily it hadn't gone to my lungs. I just finished the self injection of Lovenox and am taking Coumadin but the blood still isn't thinning so I have another appt. tomorrow.
Now that this has happened I can no longer take BCP's! AF came at the end of last week and I am having serious cramps, never had cramps this bad before. The only thing I can take is Tylenol because of the Coumadin and it isn't doing anything!
Is there anything else that can help regulate the period and ease up the cramps while still on Coumadin??
Thanks for the help |
