Is it normal to have large blood clots during the heaviest
bleeding period
yup, that's normal. If you don't want to have cramps or stomach pains, try drinking 1/3 of a bottle/can of beer. Pilsen. Don't drink more, it might get to be very heavy
I have the same problem. I've been worried about it for some time now, but it's nothing new for me. I get very large clots, feel them passing - just as many of you have stated. The other issue I have is that I bleed for anywhere from 2-4 weeks at a time, not always heavy, but it's been this way for as long as I can remember... I would like to go see a doctor about it but I don't have health insurance.
Before I gave birth to my son (he's 2) my period's were normal and came like clockwork. Since then, my period's slowly started getting heavier and heavier. Now I bleed really big clot's. They are golf ball size and a few were somewhat bigger. I was on a 28 day cycle but it has moved to a 24 and sometimes a 20 day cycle. I have had enough and have made up my mind to have a D&C this weekend. I am dreading this, so I am looking for another solution. Does anyone out there have any?????? If not I am climbing on the table of dread!!!!
I had a shortened cycle throughout the whole of 2005. I would have a bleed every 2 week or so. It wasn't until Nov 05 that my GP referred me to an obgyn. I had a pipelle test & a pelvic ultrasound. The ultrasound revealed my problem as I had an endometrial polyp & fibroids. Just prior to surgery, I also passed some huge blood clots that were freaky. I think the safest thing for you to do is to get a pelvic ultrasound to rule out any polyps or fibroids.

I know life is not always what we would like it to be, but if you have a goal in life, you also need a healthy body with which to achieve it. Instead of a few luxuries in the home for a few months, curtail those purchases and invest your money in your body and at least get a OB/GYN Checkup. It's the only body you have and it will keep you in good shape if you take good care of it. Unfortunately there is no way of diagnosing any ailment thru online forums or chatrooms yet, just in telemedicine and you need to be a patient for that.
I'm enclosing a document on menstruation that you can double click and read and see if it applies to you. Again, please consider seeing a doctor, though. Good luck, and please keep us posted.
hi millie, i am going through same thing, been to docs told me its the start of change, its hell though, every 15 days.
Depending on your age, and if you have a good doctor, you should be receiveing hormones to help you. Every 15 days, in my opinion, is not normal. I would seek a second opinion.
Try the following online site and see if you can get some reassurance and answers. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Thanks Chery, the information you sent was helpful, I am 46yrs, and i will go to the doctors once I return to Ireland. I personally think it could be fibroids!
Cheers
At that age, it could be fibroids, myomata, and/or menopause. I got mine when I was 42, but still did not have the clots. Good luck with the doctor and keep us posted. P.S. Don't forget to get your regular papsmear too. Your body is the only one you have and you need to take care of it.
You should see your doctor if it will ease your mind, but I know i had and still have that same problem.......i can feel them and at times it is as if i am dropping a kid out or something (sorry so blunt), but my doctor said that it is NOT abnormal to do this..Seems I have had this happening more since I've gotten older........so do what will make you feel at ease
