Scarleteen

I have been taking the pill for a few years and am sexually active. I am in the middle of a birth control pack, so I am not expecting any bleeding since I'm not on the placebo pills, but a blood clot came out while I was on the toilet. Should I be concerned or is it common to experience a blood clot as a form of spotting?

Hi Starryeyes,

Spotting usually refers to light amounts of blood, not clots like you'd see on your period. If this happened and you aren't on your period, you may want to check in with healthcare provider (especially if it happens again or it's accompanied by other symptoms).
