I was given Heparin (blood thinner) prior to surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago in order to prevent blood clots.

Shortly after surgery I began to spot and now it's been 2 1/2 weeks later and I am STILL on my period.

Did anyone else have this problem and if so how long did it last??

Thanks!

It happened to me also. I never even thought about it being the Heparin shots. I got one before surgery and 2 after surgery. I started spotting a little after surgery and It lasted forever (or felt like it) hummmm something to think about?

I had period problems too. Only mine stopped and then started and then stopped and then started and so on and so forth. For 6 weeks I was having a period every other week. They each lasted about four days and then I would stop for four and then start again.

I've heard several women say that it messed them up pretty bad for a couple of months.

Sorry! periods are the worst!

Please call your Doctor, they'll properly say it's common. But just check

My GYN knows, but we never talked about the heparin shots. We just talked about that dreaded menapause (sp)

I got my period several days early and it was heavier than usual. I ended up with blood clots anyway and I am on medication for that, the surgeon told me that my periods would be heavier while I was talking it. Hope that helps.

I Would Check With Your Docter Is It Heavy. This Not Uncommon With Heparin Better To Spot That Have Blood Clots. My Daughter Has Been Fight Blood Clot And Heparin For A Year Now And Is Finally Off Heparin. She Always Had Heavy Long Period. But What She Was Told If It Continue She Needed To Followup.
