    Hi

    I use to have the same problem as you... blood clotts... I had a blood test and the doctor told me I was eneimic (had low iron). I took some medicine and now I feel so much better... my last periods weren't as painful as it use to be and the blood clotts are so minor...

    You should go to the doctors too just to get checked out...

    I really am no expert but I have had large clots as well with pain and went to emergency were they did a cat scan and found I have a ovarian cyst on my right ovary and only a ultra sound or a cat scan can detect this. Ovarian cyst can be very dangerous or minor. You may want to talk to a doctor and ask about cyst possibilities.

    Having read this and the other posts in this thread, I thought I'd share my experience with you. When I was in high school I had heavy periods for over four months non stop with huge clots - some of them bigger than my hand. I have had periods since I was 10. In January 2006 I woke up one morning with severe abdominal pain, I was vomiting and I also had diarrhoea. I went to the ED and they did all the scans - x-ray, cat scan, you name it. It took the doctors a while to figure out what it was until they figured it out that I had a 12cm ovarian cyst. They removed the cyst, as well as my right ovary and the filopian tube. For the last 12 months I haven't had my period, until three days ago. This afternoon I've been passing clots - but only small ones at this stage.

    During your period, your body will release anticoagulants that keep the blood fluid and thinned. However, if your flow is extremely strong, the blood may pass before the anticoagulants can work. In this case, the blood may clot as it is passed.

    However, there are times when blood clots should be a reason for concern. If you are passing clots that are bigger than a quarter on a regular basis, it could be a sign of something else.

    In this case you should consult with your doctor immediately to find out the cause. The following conditions could be causing you to pass larger than normal clots.

    I have had my period since I was 11 years old, At the age of 13 my mother decided I needed to be put on birth control just to be safe. I had normal periods came every month and of course I hated it. After receiving my first DEPO shot I didn't like it and wanted to switch to the pill. After doing this I kept forgetting to take the pill and just quit doing birth control all together and used condoms. When I was 15 or 16 got seriouse with a guy I liked and wanted to have his baby (don't ask why lol) we tried and tried and tried but nothing happened so not using any contriception I kept trying and no baby. There is nothing wrong with me according to my doctor I am a little over weight but there are tuns of over weight people who get pregnant. I have noticed then after I stopped taking the birth control my periods got all out of wack wouldn't show up for 3 or 4 months or it wouldn't stop for 3 or 4 months and this is how I have been living with it since that time. Now almost 21 and married (not to same guy) I can't for the life of me get pregnant we have been having unprotected sex for 4 years now and nothing has happened. I had been diagnosed with HPV but as far as my doctor is concerned I have been cured of this and again nothing is wrong with me... What is wrong with me anyone know?

    Thanks LisaB4657 for describing your experience because it is exactly the same for me. It is awful. When this first started I went to the doctor and she said that I can take Aleve a few days before my period and the first few days of my period and it will stop or reduce the clots. It worked. I haven't been doing it lately because I don't like to take medicine but it has gotten so bad lately that I think I will take it again next month. Thanks everyone- it's good to know I'm not the only one with this problem. It's so scary when it's happening and you feel so alone in it.

    Looks like my last comment didn't work so I'll type again :( When this first started I went to the doctor and she said that you can take Aleve for a few days before and during your period and it will stop or reduce the clots. It worked. Lately I stopped taking it because I don't like to take medicine but the clots scare me so much that I think I will take it again next month. Good luck everyone-

    If you are having these symptoms, don't look any further online for help. Just get to a Gyn and let him check you out. It could be serious or nothing, but let them tell you.

    I started my period on 9/6/10. It was heavy, nothing too unusual for the first few days, then after the 7th day, I was still on it, I had also been passing a little larger than normal blood clots, I started worrying. When I had been on it 2 weeks, I was at work, lifted something kind of heavy, passed a really large clot, and bled through my clothes. That night I went to the ER for soaking through 2 pads in about 3 hours. My blood work was fine, no loss of blood and no anemia.

    They told me to follow up with a Gyn ASAP. So the next day, I called and got an appointment to see a Gyn the following day. Pap was good, but the bleeding wasn't stopped, so he scheduled a sonohysterography for a week later, whether I was bleeding or not. (I was.)

    During the sonohysterography they noticed I had a 4 cm wide polyp. They have to remove it and biopsy it. I discuss this with my doctor this coming Friday, 10/15/10, but meanwhile the bleeding and clotting is continuing. I think he's going to suggest a D & C to remove it.

    If it's a polyp.. read this.. Uterine Polyps: React, But Don't Overreact

    Hope I helped some of you get the answer you needed.
