What Causes Bleeding When On Birth Control Pills?

Posted on Tue, 7 Jul 2015

Question: I hemorrhaged internally when I gave birth 11 month ago and had to have a d and c. I spotted occasionally while I nursed. I quit nursing the beginning o March. My period returned just over 3 weeks ago. I started the pill and have been bleeding on and off for the last 3 weeks and it is fairly clotty when I do. I have pcos also. Not to sure if I should be concerned or not.

Brief Answer:
Ultrasound advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your problem.
In my opinion you need to get an ultrasound done as it is not a good sign to bleed even when you are taking oral pills.
Get a scan done and let me know the report.
Waiting for your response.
Regards
Dr Manisha
