I have paroxysmal afib and have been on warfarin for years with target
INR range 2.0 to 3.0.
Last saturday I had to suspend warfarin because of a bleeding problem that fortunately (this morning) has then been diagnosed as not significant and not related with warfarin.
This morning (tuesday) coagulation test result was INR 1.28, and I was told to resume warfarin, at the same dosage as before.

Question: how many days will it take me, approximately, to get INR over 2.0 again?

I was told that the averaging time is 1 week. Another piece of info:
When I had a tooth extracted, I was told to go off the warfarin four days in advance,
