A member asked:
Is it normal for me to bleed dark red after stopping my birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not uncommon: If fact, dark blood suggests sloughing of old tissue that was build up by the hormones, and not acute bleeding. If it lasts more than 10days or becomes very heavy, consult with your doctor.
