Oh ok. Before i was put on the pill, the old blood came after I had my period but now since I am on the pill it is mostly what all is coming out first before the new blood is. I was just wondering. So it is cause of the pill?

Everyone has clots at one time or another. That doesn't really mean anything either. The main concerns are periods which go on for an inordinate amount of time or which don't come at all.

oh ok. When on the pill shouldn't the period last the length of time that the pill shows since the pill has 4 different colors and since the last color is the color of when the period starts? im not sure about all the things about the pill cause i'm 18 and just got put on the pill last month and i have never been on the pill before..
When first starting out on the pill, you can experience all sorts of funny bleeding relating to timing, color, amount, cramping and clotting.
Usually your doctor wants you to be on your current dosage for at least 3 months before they will increase your dosage. The reason is that you should be on the lowest possible dosage that is effective for you and has side effects you can tolerate. If you are really bothered by bleeding during times other than when you're supposed to bleed, then discuss it with your gynocologist or call their office and ask to talk to their nurse about it.
Estrogen and progesterone which most pills contain can fuel the growth of breast, ovarian, and other types of cancers. This is one of the biggest reasons not to have too high of a dosage. Being on the right dosage doesn't increase your risk of these cancers much.
