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.

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.

Im 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 thats it clots in the shower when Im 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. Im 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 Im going to Im not going to live with this anymore it hurts and its FREAKY!!!!

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?

What could it be if you feel tired all of the time even after a good nights rest.

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
