Hi Sara,
Welcome to heathcare Magic!
The birth control pills are good to reduce amount of blood lost in periods.
Having blood clots of that size with stringy appearance is unusual.
You may be having some associated problem like a fibroid or an infection if you are using internal tampon.
But first of all you should visit and get examined by an experienced Gynecologist and get a physical examination.
Wish you a great health!
