Is it normal to have large blood clots during the heaviest
Bleeding period
Yes this is normal. But if your concerned its always advisable to have your physican perform a ultrasound test to make sure everything is ok. But honestly, clotting usually occurs during the heaviest time of ones period so its nothing to worry about.

Only you can really answer that question. If large blood clots happen with all your period and it's something that did not just start, then it could be normal. If its something that had never happen before and and just suddenly happen then there could be reason for concern. If it is abnormal for you then I would suggest getting seen by a doctor, for heavy bleeding with blood clots could possible be signs of health problems. Good luck and keep us posted.

I'm 25. I have had 2 kids and 1 miscarriage. I have always had bad periods but none like the ones I started having last year. This past year has been hell. It only takes 30 min to go through 1 super plus Tampax pearl. I have used 2 at 1 time with a pad and still bleed straight through. I have sharp lower abdominal pain and sharp lower back pain. I bleed clots that's it clots in the shower when I'm using the rest room. There huge they started out like golf ball sized and now its more like 4-5 gold ball size at 1 time. My husband poor man I had to show him because I don't think he realized how much pain I was in. But he saw me go through 3 tampons and change of clothing within 1 hr. So he was like do I need to take you to the er. I was like no this happens every month. I don't think this is normal. I'm getting on insurance next week. I haven't been to a doctor in 4 years because of no insurance. But I feel your pain your life is built around your period at least for the first 3 days. Hope you get help I'm going to I'm not going to live with this anymore it hurts and its FREAKY!

I noticed as I got older that my periods were shorter in length (went from 7 days to 5 days) but that the clots became much bigger. Usually the second day is the day from hell and I'm afraid to be away from a bathroom for more than an hour or two. My doctor said that this is completely normal. Also, the exact same thing has happened to all of my friends. I had a D&C and it made no difference.
Oh man. I'm 16.. I started when I was 10 and since then I have had really bad and painful blood clots. The second and third day are the worst. I had anemia when I was 10 but I don't know about know. Could I have cervical cancer?

I'm 17 and yesterday when I got my period (I've had it since I was 11) I had such bad stomach cramps that I passed out from the pain. They put me on the pill and today I've had quite a few big-ish blood clots. I think it may be from the pill but that seems a bit strange since I have only taken one so far. But it also may be just a really bad period. I got blood tested for anaemia today.

Like you I get clotting but My iron is fine.. When I donated platelets on a regular basis my period seemed to have less clotting and less cramping. Maybe I should try this

If your gynecologist says it is normal to have blood clots I would see another dr. It is fairly common, but not normal! There are things that can be done to help with this because it can be hard to function in your daily life with this. If it really is a problem for you go see a dr.

I have that same problem. Tonight I had blood oozing down my leg. I had to run inside and the blood clots were horrible. Normally I have heavy periods anyway but I'm also anemic and have low hemoglobin. I guess now I can tell the doctor why. My periods are just awful. So I understand how you feel. It sucks. But definitely tell your doctor if you're concerned. It's better safe than sorry I always say.

Blood Clots are normal for the first few days of the cycle. If you look it up blood clots is only the unfertilized egg coming out in large pieces. So don't be nervous unless you have a history of problems regarding your period or you have a painful period

I have been blessed with extremely heavy periods and massive blood clots due to fibroids. Over the past few months, I have noticed an unusual and unsettling change. My period will start and appear to be normal (for me) then, it will just stop! It will stop for hours and even up to two days. ...
I'm 27, not sexually active, and during my last period I had a few blood clots that were so large, they pushed my tampon out of my body along with heavy bleeding. Also, there was a mucus-like discharge mixed with blood that continued at the end of my period. In the past, my menstration cycles...

For the past few months, maybe 4 months or 5, my mother has been bleeding as though on her period. She gets bad cramps and large clots on occasion too. She just won't stop. It can stop for a day sometimes, but then it is back in full flow. It is very heavy. She is overdue to have a...

Last June at 5 months pregnant, I found out my baby had died. I had lost my insurance when I got pregnant and my husband and I were told to go to what turned out to be an abortion clinic for the removal. I had a very hard time during the procedure. It had to be repeated several times during the 6...
