You should at least place a phone call to your doctor and ask them what they think. That is your safest route to take on this.
Most likely, you will have to leave a message and the nurse will call you back with answers to your questions, so be sure you provide them with all the info you provided here.

Well..
I don't know how long you've been having your period for one. BUT, if your taking a good birth control pill, every day, AT THE SAME TIME EVERYDAY (if your sexually active it's VERY important you do that-SAME TIME, every day!), then you should be pretty regulated. Just because you take it everyday does not mean you are immune to pregnancy, there is still that .1% chance. And that chance increases if you don't take it at the same time everyday.
It's unusual for someone your age to develop blood clots (that's what that chunky stuff is)..that usually happens as you get older, don't know why, but.. *shrug*. Not to say that younger girls don't get them, but it's rarer for some reason. I could be as simple as "breakthrough bleeding" which is not unusual when women first begin to take the pill.
Spotting is just that, a very light "spotty" bleeding that tends to stop and go... Blood clots are had by everyone sooner or later, where you actually pass "chunks" of blood during your period.
Have you been having menstrual cramps that are MUCH more painful than usual?
I ask because it's possible that you WERE pregnant..did you know that you can have a period while your pregnant?
Yep, and usually you just have just the one and would be a bit spotty..so it's possible that you could have been 6-8 weeks, having a period during that time that was spotty and light. And then miscarried, that would explain the strange color, the heaviness, and the unusual clotting.
Apparently, you've never had clotting before, so I am a bit concerned.
The main difference between regular blood clots and "miscarriage" blood clots is..well..this is a bit gross but when you pass the clot, examine it on the tissue paper if it is very red and breaks up easily, almost like a "bubble of blood", it's likely just that: a blood clot. If it is red with some pink stuff that looks ...um...kinda stringy or meaty, then it's likely embryonic tissue (miscarriage). I've had enough miscarriages and enough periods that I can tell immediately by looking..wish I were there to help you tell the difference!
For your health's sake, if it gets too heavy...for instance if your filling up a menstrual pad in 2 hrs or less, and/or the pain in your abdomen increases (more than a normal period): you need to consult your physician immediately, as that could be a sign of hemorrhaging or ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy that is caught in your tubes); both are very serious conditions.
On the other hand, if your last "period" was a spotty one..this could be your actual period.
Are you keeping track of when your period is due?
Did you have your last period when you took the last row of your birth control pills?
It's been awhile since I've taken "the pill" (unfortunately, not recommended for those of us over 35 that smoke *smile* so I must resort to other contraceptive methods) but my last row of "period pills" were usually green, but they come in all colors. In a round pack it's the ones in the middle, if you are using a square package then it's the last row on the bottom.
Also, if your taking the pill, and everything IS okay, then this bleeding shouldn't last more than 3-4 days if it does, and remains heavy..again, consult your physician.
