Question : Hello. I started taking the contraceptive pill Levlan again after having a 3 month break. I started taking it before I got my period. On the 28th December I had sex but the Condom broke. I was unsure if I was safe with the pill so I took the morning after pill. My due period from the pill came as normal on the 14th XXXXXXX but was very painful. On the 3rd day of my period I passed a tissue flesh looking type of blood clot. After that the pain went away and I had a normal 5 day period. I have had blood clots in the past but not tissue looking clots. I highly doubt this could be a miscarriage right? Could this be from going back in the pill? Thanks

Hi
Greetings
Very difficult to comment without doing pregnancy test either urine or blood beta hcg hormone.
You should be resuming the oral contraceptive pills from second day of the periods instead of before periods.You could have been pregnant in that cycle.

Then nothing to worry

If so it may not be pregnancy.
If the periods are regular you can resume pills from second day or else get a gynaec check up including scan to know the endometrium.
