Hi,

As she had already missed her period, there are chances of pregnancy if she is sexually active during last cycle and had not taken any precautions.

Some times in early pregnancy when hormonal tablets are taken they can induce bleeding and may lead to abortion.

Some change in pattern and presentation of period may be there after taking hormonal tablets for any reason. But passing a big clot with something like sack definitely raises suspicion about pregnancy.

It is advisable that you please take her to gynaecologist and get her examined. She needs to have proper medical examination to make sure that everything is right.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Dr.Pragnesh
