Is It Normal To Have Blood Clots Discharge During Period After Switching To Diane From Levelin?
Hi, I have my period at the moment. I have just changed from the Levelen Pill to the Diane pill for my skin, and last night noticed that i had what looked like a blood clot, but it looked like some skin was in it. If this makes sense, i have a little bit of pain but it isn t unusual for me as i have Bad period Pains.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Switching the contraceptive pills to another brand even if the composition of the pills is same can be associated with an increase or decrease in the bleeding patterns due to difference in bioavailability.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
