I get this too and while I've never asked my doctor or anyone I only assume that this is part of the lining that during the month is perparing for a baby. Each month when you have your period and no baby adheres to the womb, the body flush everything out (that's the blood and tissue discharge) and then the body starts it all again for the next month. Maybe the chunks were smaller in your youth and we only notice when a bigger one lands on the pad.

I think cancer cells would stay in your body and not come out during your period.

I've had the same thing, twice now. The first time was a few years ago - maybe 5 to 7. Again a few months ago. Mine was about 1.5- 2 inches long with a round harder mass towards one end of it. It was kind of rubbery too. Does this sound similar to what you experienced?

It seems like I've had the same occurrence. It's sort of a grayish or flesh color? It has happened to me twice now and it really freaks me out. It looks kind of rubbery but I've never touched it, I usually just flush it. I've tried to google this and I've found a variety of answers that range from just clots of uterus tissue to a possible miscarriage. I'm not too worried about it, just concerned. /=

everyone's problem is different. but when i had heavy periods last year i found out i had a cyst on my right ovary. my doctor said that clogs comes with heavy menses.
my period would be heavy for 3 weeks, and it happened every other month.
my doctor performed a hysteroscopy & D&C. which means he put a camera in my uterus to see if i have any fibroids. he scraped the lining of my uterus (d&c). this is suppose to stop the heavy periods due to a thick uterus lining.
he put me on the depo while i just woke up from being sedated. i felt like he shouldve made sure i wanted it, b/c i didnt. i had light menses for 1/12 months on the depo and other side effects from it.

i m now on birth control and my period is regulated.
please see your doctor regularly and make sure your fine.
oh, and the clog being greyish and flesh color concerns me.

im 33 & trying to conceive ,i `ve a daughter who is 12yeras old, i had 2 misscarriges. i m overweight.
i usually have clotting during my painful periods (now they are regular) but in my last period on the second day i had a large size of a blood clot on my pad .and it was painful too.it was about 2 and a half to 3 inches long solid piece.i dont know that if i was pregnant or not.
i wish if any one can help me with this.

im only 17 and thats happened me :s it was so so scary when it happened, my stomach was so sore..i felt like it was going to fall out or something i was so scared and i m relieved to hear its happened to others ....ive got an implanon in ..could that have had anything to do with it?

I am looking for an unrelated tissue I discovered this morning, but have any of you consulted doctors regarding what you found??

I have consulted my gyn in the past about this same issue. I had a cyst on my right ovary and had it taken out this past August. Prior to my surgery I had normal periods, but after I have had very heavy periods with alot of clotting. I also have really really bad cramps, it feels like my insides are being torn out. Funny thing is, it only feels like this on my right side. The first time I saw a really big clot I flipped. I have two kids and had my tubes tied after my second (two c-secs and I'm only 29).

I wondered if something was wrong with me or maybe my surgery had been botched. My gyn told me that it was normal and my body just produced a thicker lining on my uterus than others. I was also told that the cramps that I was getting was from the scar tissue on my right fallopian tube. Interesting how scar tissue can cause pain..?..

Clotting is normal! Don't worry, you're ok.

im 18 years of age and i recently got married. Just a couple of days ago my period came on time and i found a rubbery reddish pinkish clot on my pad on the 3rd day of my periods. It was about 1 inch long. Does this mean i had a miscarriage? Or was this normal?
