I would have a shower, eat breakfast wait 1/2 hour then recheck again. Then cry.
After the tears I would give myself a boost of 4mg maybe even 5mg

Hayley,
I think I know the answer to this but was it a new batch of strips or the same code as your last test?

I am using the same batch and having no problems. Is there a chance you might have missed a dose? Or, since you are feeling better, maybe you are more active?imhayley said:
I have been quite active. I have also lost about 15 lbs. If I continue to lose as rapid as I am I will seek medical attention but at this point it's your attention Im a needinggeebee said:
I use a pill box and take my meds on time everyday. I will take 10mg tonight (as directed by the coumadin attendant) and resume regularly programed schedule. Test again Tues. Do you concure? Do I just pm Mr Lodwick for one of those charts for $5? Oh and have I mentioned I miss you!

It could be the change in activity - more activity usually requires more coumadin. Watch that weight loss, kiddo. Don't want to be visiting you in the hospital (do want to visit - just not there). Are you looking to fit into a bikini for your vacation?
What was your dosage before the drop?
What was your dosage before the drop?
I tested last week at 2.4. My dosage is 5mg m.w.f, and 2.5 the other 4 days. Then about 13 days ago I was a 1.9. I have NOT changed anything. In fact I walk 2 miles every day. I eat the same as my husband and he hasn't lost a pound. So unsure about why the sudden drop.....LOVE it though and it does make it easier to fit into my bikini as I leave in exactly 36 more days to the USVI again!! Last time I visited I was 3 months post op. This time I feel like a new person and I plan on running naked on the beach. For real! Oh with my Ipod too!!! HA HA. Do you have a copy of the chart everyone keeps raving about that Al has? Okay well thanks for the info and let me know what ya think.

It may be something temporary. It happens from time to time.
Lord, now I have this vision of you running naked on the beach and I Wanna be there for that! You enjoy tormenting me don't you?
What I would do is reverse your schedule, taking 5 mg 4 days a week and 2.5 3 days a week and test again in a week.

I think you will be just fine if you do as Ross suggested. It will up you a little bit and you can add another 2.5 if you are still low after a week.
I just know your INR is lower because you are running more just to look great on that nude beach. Come on now, girlfriend - fess up.
