I was on a Heparin IV at first in the hospital. A few days later they took me off the Heparin IV & started the Coumadin regimen. I remained in the hospital until my INR was between 2.0 - 3.0 which was the safe zone. I was told not to take my BC the first night. That resulted in my mens to begin in the hospital which it was extremely heavy and painful cramps like before I was taking BC pills. It wasn't a good experience.
