I took clomid during my last cycle last month and got my period today, I have very unusual looking blood clots, I have had blood clots before but they didn't look like this. These were like a thick mucous/membrane looking blood clot with a white color, I tried to feel it and it wasn't like a normal blood clot, it pretty much snapped. Is this normal after taking clomid?

It can be normal when taking Clomid. It often will cause cervical mucus and discharge to thicken... and clot more. It is one of the downsides to Clomid. While it may help you with ovulation, it can make it difficult for sperm to get to the egg. Keep in mind that your period is shedding of the uterine lining, made up of mucus and tissue as well. Sometimes it is more noticeable than others.
If you continue to notice it, see your doctor. First to rule out any other possible cause and then, if it is determined to likely be from the Clomid, your doctor may be able to suggest some options for improving the consistency of your cervical mucus. There are a few things women will commonly use.
