I did not have periods for four months and bleeding now with clots. Why?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had sex for five months, but then I got my period after 15 days. Then, I had no periods for the next four months. I took Femilon as a birth control medicine. Now, I have periods with large clots. A piece of it is still stuck in my vagina, and I am not able to pull it out.

Please let me know what it is and how it can be taken out. I also have a PCOD/PMOS problem.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Femilon (Desogestrel + Ethinyl estradiol) is a combined oral contraceptive pill and, hence, does not cause amenorrhea. But you should ideally get menses during the sugar pill days. However, if no menses, then chances are there that you may have become pregnant, which I believe you did not rule out earlier.

It is recommended that you get a transvaginal ultrasound done to check for endometrial thickness and also to rule out any retained products of conception if the serum beta hCG test (human chorionic gonadotropin) turns out to be positive as of today.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I have periods after sex. Now, I have periods and flesh, like something is stuck, which I can see and feel during washing. I just want to know whether I am normal or have anything serious.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

If you did not give a break between Femilon pills, then it is likely that you had continuous amenorrhea, and hence, heavy menses are expected. Something stuck in the vagina indicates a possibility of a placental membrane, and this may be a miscarriage, where menses four months back could be an implantation bleed or a threatened miscarriage. It is important that a serum beta hCG test and an ultrasound be done to be on the safer and clearer side.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.
