I would tell my doc at my next pap smear.It could be nothing,but it is worth mentioning.Good luck!Patty

Sounds like endometriosis. See the doctor. It can spread all over and do a lot of damage.

Thanks for your replys but I can definitely rule endo, my periods are not heavy they only last about 4 days and apart from the clots which are not to bad I have absolutely no other symptoms, I have since mentioned it to a few friends of mine and they said they have experienced clots sometimes, but best of all my doctor said that it just means my womb lining is thick enough to form clots some months. I appreciate your responses though

What happens if u have blood clots on ure leg when ure havin ure periods and when ure not? The doc says its nothing but I suspect he has not checked properly

I used to pass clots. Not usually very large ones, and it was never painful.

I just had a hysterectomy and can tell you that I did not have endo, or adenomyosis.

I did, however, have a polyp - which can cause heavy bleeding and sometimes bleeding between cycles. They don't always cause pain and can be easily removed with a d&c or ablation (unless you want to have kids).

I also had fibroids. Fibroids can cause clots by causing the lining uterus to be folded so that pockets of blood sit for a while and clot before being passed. These are often painless. They can be treated with uterine artery embolization or if they're smaller with laproscopic surgery.

Please check with your doctor at your next gyno appt.

Take care.
