is it normal to have blood clots with a heavy period

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 definately 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 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.

Get an ultrasound that the best way to find out if your ok or not. I did.
