A member asked:

I'm on loestrin bc. during my 4th pack i began heavy clot bleeding during ovulation. has lasted for 3 days, still going. just had a pap 2weeks ago.?

Abnormal bleeding: The first thing to always check with abnormal uterine bleeding is a pregnancy test. If this is negative, then the next most common reason would be breakthrough bleeding because of progesterone. This is either treated by add back estrogen or changing the pill.
