Well to start off, I'm only 22 years old and I have had 2 children. My youngest is 2 years old and after I gave birth to him I got an IUD inserted. I noticed during my first period that I had some small blood clots but the doctor said they were nothing to worry about but in the past 2 years they have been steadily getting bigger and bigger. I have read some of the previous posts about this but mine seem to be bigger than what everyone else was describing. Sorry to be so graphic but I have to literally sit on the toilet and push them out because they are so big. I don't know what causes this or if I should be worried or not. Any advice is great advice! Thanks in advance. Oh also, when I was pregnant with my last son I was anemic but I got tested again after I had him and my doctor said that my blood levels were back to normal. Could I have become anemic again or is this something totally different? Thank you again for your help in advance.

You need to see your physician and tell her what's happening. I once passed a blood clot that big right after giving birth. They told me that it had gotten so big because I didn't get up, walk around and let it run out as lochia. I pushed it out over the toilet.

The IUD could be contributing. Clots are blood that has become solid. Clots are more common in women approaching menopause. You are not old. Clots can be formed in the presence of fibroid tumors. These are not cancerous but can make you bleed heavily, and clot. You need a pelvic exam (so fun) to determine the cause of the large clots.
