I would get checked out , you cannot be too careful and if indeed the size of a fist then this is too much blood to loose. Get yourself checked out this will at least put your mind at ease.

This could very well be endometriosis or a condition similar. This is not normal and you should make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.

I just recently went to my doctor because, I have the same condition, my doctor said that I should take a 800mg of Ibeprofen every day starting 1 week before my period starts. I am pretty accurate in the schedule of my period. He also said that the Ibeprofen will thin out my blood & dissolve the large blood clots. The 1st day of my period is medium, but the 2nd day is so horrible, with super heavy bleeding & the super large blood clots. So horrible, the 3rd day it slows down with clots & by the 4th-5th day it will end. Anyway if you try it, I hope it works, I am going to seriously try it on my next period.

Just take 1 800mg of Ibeprofen for 5 days before your period starts. It will dissolve the clots & thin the blood.

Go to the doctor ASAP. Don't start taking anything (even Ibuprofen) without the advice of a physician since there could be several factors involved. Not everyone with those symptoms necessarily have the same condition, so go to the doctor to be safe.

Good luck
