Call OB: Sometimes one can have leftovers of the placenta or other tissues postpartum still present in the uterus. While some bleeding is expected after delivery, clots and heavy bleeding should be reported to your obstetrician immediately. I suggest you call and describe what you are experiencing to them and let the decide what should be done next. Congratulations on your new baby. Keep calm and call OB.

I have the nexplanon in my arm for birth control so I rarely have periods. I just finished a period 7-14 days ago. I am not bleeding again and the blood is dark red almost brown and has large clots of tissue in it. The flow is otherwise low for me.
