Why There Is Dark Clumps Of Blood During Periods Along With Lower Back Pain After Stopping Pills To Get My Period ?

I am on birth control , I recently stopped taking my pills to get my period . (I often skip the placebo pills and get my period every other month) I am currently getting very dark clumps of blood (no red blood) and pain in my lower back. What could this be?

if the clumps are small and the pain is mild, then it is most likely just from your period. sometimes the blood gets dark red if it is old blood and stays inside your uterus a little longer than usual before it comes out. if the bleeding is really heavy and the pain is severe, then you may need to see your doctor to make sure nothing else is going on. sometimes it could be from a polyp or an infection which can usually be easily treated. please let me know if you have any more questions.
