Hi I m 44 and on birth control. I finished my menstrual cycle last week and started my birth control this past Saturday. As of today I started having break through bleeding, then expelling bloody clots. First one 8 hours ago and had to come home from work and change my undies and jeans. then twice expelled clots within the next 4 hours after that and the one around 3 hours ago again had to change the pants. Now in the last 2 hours expelled 5 blood clots and the last three within the last half an hour. Is this normal?
Hello ma'am and welcome. The blood clots are a side effect of the birth control, but this is not a side effect your doctor would be happy with. So I would advise you to schedule an appointment with your doctor and get evaluated. He/she may choose to change the birth control or make alterations to the prescription in other ways. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
