I have been taking Lutera birth control pills for almost 3 months now and this is the first time this has happened. I had my period about a week ago (8/23-8/30) and I m still bleeding , except it s a sticky/chunky, thick black colored blood , almost black! Is this normal? If it keeps going on, should I see my doctor and change BC?
Hi, thank you for your query. What you are experiencing are the classic side effects of Luther birth control.a lot of women experience Vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) or missed/irregular periods may occur, especially during the first 4-5 months of use. This along with clots, passage of dark-colored blood is seen. There may be associated nausea, vomiting, headache, stomach cramping/bloating, dizziness, vaginal discomfort/irritation, increased vaginal fluids, or breast tenderness/enlargement.I would advise you to consult your OB/GUN to change the birth control method to a more suitable one. Thank you, wishing you good health
