Respected Customer,
Thanks for all these additional details.
I am sorry to hear about your problem and I know how worrisome this situation can be for you but hopefully, we can resolve this.
I understand, that you have passed such a blood clot and have abnormal bleeding.
Such irregular bleeding or breakthrough bleeding typically happens during the first few months of taking a new birth control pill. It can happen for 6 months or so, as it takes time for the body to adjust to the new hormone levels.
You should not be worried at all.
As such, passing blood clots is normal, during such time.
Such a clot may appear bright red.
The general rule of thumb is- If one has to change the pad/ tampon every 2 hours or less, for several consecutive hours, then it is called Menorrhagia (heavy bleeding) and one may need to visit Urgent care ASAP.
As the bleeding has now, stopped, So I would not be worried.
Please follow the below tips-
-Hydrate yourself with plenty of fluids and Gatorade.
-In the meantime, please take over-the-counter Ibuprofen 400 mg 3 times a day after meals.
It would help to stop bleeding by about 30-40 percent. It works by reducing the amount of prostaglandin in the lining of your uterus, as prostaglandin contributes to bleeding.
-You can Apply heat in the form of a warm washcloth to the lower abdomen area for 10-15 minutes about 2 or 3 times a day.
-You can make sure you take iron supplements and foods rich in iron to make for your daily iron needs.
