i have used a contraceptive needle for the first time in my life and started bleeding for a month but my doctor told me its my hormones and it totally normal to bleed, but I was worried and decided to buy fragile and suddenly I have stopped bleeding.

Her oncologist put her on a regimen of Fragmin to prevent blood clots in her lung; she is considering taking Dabigatran/Pradaxa instead of continuing her injec...
