A member asked:
My period slowed down then picked up again, can endometrial tissue block blood flow during a period? will this be temporary and should it pick up again? my periods have done this before but been awhile. im on birth control too?

Variation: What you described seems to fall within the normal variation of flow in a period. As long as you are not bleeding excessively, you may watch and wait. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!

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.
Blood when I wipe but not reaching the pad. When I wipe deep with tissue I see old brown blood. Not on period/ pregnant. Can't be my birth control.
