instruction: hello I am currently in my withdrawal bleeding week placebo pill days I am on birth control yesterday I noticed two abnormal clots on my pad I have experienced blood clots but these were different a little difficult to explain I have a picture but they were large and white with visible blood vessels on the surface and a blood string at the end again a little hard to explain in words because of my current circumstances I have not taken birth control the normal way in the last two months early last month I did not have more birth control at the end of my placebo week and was only able to start a new cycle of it the following week I did not know I should only start the pill at the beginning of my cycle once I found out I skipped the placebo week the following month in order to reset the ovulation placebo timings I am sexually active and knowing I had not used the pill correctly I mostly used condoms as backup I was wondering if these clots could be a result of messing up the pill or if they are something I should worry about thank you for your help
output: hello welcome to icliniq based on your description I understand that you skin using the pills in early last month in the beginning of your menstrual cycles and later took it continuously to avoid the placebo pills see first thing you have to understand is that if you did not start the birth control in the first week of your menstrual cycles it is not effective as a birth control at all as the follicular development already sets in which contains the ovum egg so there is a high chance of pregnancy in such cases even if you start it in the following week the clots that you described could be possibly products of conception only a possibility if you had gotten pregnant and had a spontaneous miscarriage so to confirm if this is the situation or not please check your home pregnancy test if that is positive then this confirms the likely possibility of a pregnancy also if you could share a picture of the clot that you have I can have a look to check the other possibilities of your problem please feel free to revert back to me anytime with any further queries or doubts also please check your home pregnancy test once and get back to me with the result have a nice day home pregnancy test ultrasound abdomen and pelvis
