Question
I had an overian cyst and i was consstantly getting them so my doctor put me on bith control.
And about a week ago i started bleeding/spotting daily.
But its not just normal blood its chunks of dark brown blood..and im not sure if thats normal or not.

&&before i started birth control i had unprotective sex, is there any possiblity that the baby would survive?
I really dont want to be pregnant so im just wondering.

Answer
Hello Rachel,
If you're pregnant, there is a possibility that the baby would survive.  However with passing blood clots it may be a miscarriage.  Time will tell.  If you're not sure you're pregnant I would do a pregnancy test.  If you are pregnant, I'd stop the pill.  It's not recommended to take it if you're pregnant, although probably it won't do any harm.  If you are pregnant, I'd make an appointment for an exam and possibly an ultrasound to know what's going on and see if it's a miscarriage.
