Much to my shock, I tested today and it's 1.9 
(tested twice to make sure it wasn't a mistake). 2 weeks ago it was 3.3, a week before that it was 3.1. A week before that it was 4.4. That was when I lowered my dose from 65 to 63. Which isn't much of a bump down. I can't think of anything different in the last 2 weeks to account for such a drop. No new vitamins, no change in eating habits. I expected it to be high since I've been too busy with work to get in my 4 weekly workouts.
Thoughts?
Al's chart (2.5 - 3.5 range) says to give an additional dose and increase 10 to 20%.
I probably won't hear back from the doctor until later today. Should I take some additional Coumadin now? As you can tell, I'm a bit stunned. Didn't really expect it to be so low. When I had my 6 mo. check with my card, her machine tested the same as mine. So machine error doesn't sound likely.
