    It all depends on how big they are. Like sometimes I will get them as big as the size of a quarter.

    It does depend on the size. Its common for some clotting. The question is are you sexually active, how big are the clots, and are you getting abdominal pain along with it.

    If they are big enough for you to worry about they are big enough for you to go to the doctor about. It may be normal or you may have one or more medical conditions. All of which would need to be diagnosed and treated by a doctor. You cannot be diagnosed here, only advice!

    I think that blood clots are completely normal, especially at your age when your body is drastically changing.

    If they are REALLY big and you think that you should see a doctor because you are really worried then you should.

    I don't think that blood clots are necessarily normal. Any unusual bleeding, clots or discharge need to be seen by a doctor.

    You will have to get used to seeing a doctor about 'female' things, so you may as well start now. Don't ignore things your body is doing that are unusual - get into the habit of having them looked at - you'll be happer, healthier and less worried.
