What Kind of Period Is This? Posted: 02-11-04 05:06am
What kind of period is this? I posted
earlier that I just finished my first set
of birthcontrol pills a few days ago (the
21 day kind) all month long i've been
feeling crampy and bloated. My period had
started slow with light red spotting, now
it's heavy, thick and clotty. I don't
want to be so gross, but a realy big dark
red sack with blue stuff was on my pad.
What the #$%@ is this? Is this a normal
thing when starting the pill? I'm kinda
freaking out. I'm taking some preaty
heavy pain medication, but I was in some
killer pain earlier today (i have
endometriosis)

ps. I'll mention again that right befor I
started the pill I took the doses of the
morning after pill.

Hello
I think you should go to your doctor
about that.. A blue stuff in your pad
area.. Thats something that you should
ask about.. Becuase thats like I never
heard before.

It's a chunk of blood clots, it's normal.
Since I was young I always had bad
periods, very heavy and cramps that are a
pain to handle. I went to my doctor and
he said it's pretty normal for heavy
periods.

That's weird. You'll have to talk to a
doctor about that. Blood clots look red
or close to burgandy and might be darker
than that.

If you took the morning after pill, then
that chunk is probably what you were
trying to flush out.
As for heavy and clotty, when I start or
stop the pill, mine is like that. It is
disgusting and I hate it! If your next
one is as bad, then I would call your
doctor, but I would let this one go.
Your period could also be worse because of
the morning after pill. That is a normal
side effect.
