would it be strange if my period is almost black and really sticky?

Question

This period was strange, black stringy sticky clots. Lasted 2 days and then for 2 days a tiny bit of blood and clot was found, never had this before?

Answer 1

Dark blood: Is usually old, deoxygenated blood.

Answer 2

After breastfeeding: Some women get their period back within a few months, some women don't get it for almost a year or more. If you are still breastfeeding you will likely not get your period until you stop or until you are feeding less frequently than every 5 hours or so, usually once your baby starts sleeping through the night.

Answer 3

Few mos after birth: Depending on hormonal surges and breast feeding etc, it may be a month, or it may be several. Be cautious though, as just because you do not have an active cycle, you still may be able to get pregnant, so practice safe sex. Good luck.

Answer 4

Take preg test: Are you currently using any form of birth control? If you're not, and there is a chance you may be pregnant, you should take a pregnancy test to see if this is the cause of your symptoms. If you have recently started using some sort of birth control (or are using it to skip a period), these symptoms can be very common. You may also want to be evaluated for other menstrual disorders by your doctori.

Answer 5

Depends: The pill is designed to imitate pregnancy so while you are on the pill you should not get a period though sometimes spotting may occur. Usually during the week of placebo pills ( ones not containing medication) you can get your period. There are some women who don't menstruate at all while on the pill. This can be because of a thinning of the lining of the uterus.

Answer 6

Nothing: It will just reset your cycle and you may have some irregular bleeding. Make sure to use condoms the first month that you are on the pill. Sometimes you want to wait until your period comes to make sure you are not pregnant when starting the pill. Take care!

Answer 7

Probably not: starting OCP's at this stage, will likely keep you without period. Its sort of like the idea behind OCP's like seasonale and seasonique - the kind that allows you to have your period every 12wks. Good health.
