After I had my son which is 14 months I had really bad periods Heavy and heavy blood clotting so I was put on birth control I also had a pelvic ultrasound done and All they said was I have disolving cysts when I get my period but no fibroids or anything. I got off the pill and my last period and the one I'm on now have been real heavy and I have real bad clots, is this normal ?

In general, no, not this long after having a child. However, before I had my son, when my cycles were normal, I would have extreme heavy bleeding, and clots. It was normal for me, and I only worried if I would start to feel dizzy, or run down, as this is a sign of excessive blood loss, and this could be a major problem. Talk to your doctor, and see what routes you can take. He/she might suggest iron pills. Also, something my midwife put me on was liquid vitamin K. It helps your fresh blood clot better not allowing it to flow as freely. This is only my experience, and before you try it, you should consult your doctor.
Good luck.

Thanks for your help. Yes Actually I was asking because the night before last night I felt like I was about to fall out and I was really fatigued and I just felt that it isn't normal and Yeah I am going to have a talk with my doctor about it. I also have hyper thyroidism so I don't know if maybe a mixture of that may have caused it.
