Im on the Mercilon pill. I had my break for a period and restarted pill after 4 days. a few days later i took my pill 10hrs late (i have a 12hr window though). the next day i took it at my normal time and accidentally took another 3 hours later. yesterday i had this weird blood clot bleeding and brown discharge, and today i have some more pink/brown discharge. do i need to use condoms for a bit anf what should i do? is this just because i double backed? i attached pic of blood clot.

You don't need extra pills if you restarted on time - im not clear what you meant "restarted after 4 days " - were you four days late ?

that's fine then you are still covered for contraception. If you are up to date with sexual health tests and smears, then this could simply be some unscheduled bleeding , and should settle down. If it continue to happen next cycle, you might need a CHC switch.
