Could you be preg??? I mean I understand your getting your period, but it has happened where women still get their period.

Sorry to suggest this but it could also be that you were pregnant & miscarried without knowing about either situation & that there is still some foetal matter there. I would seea dr & get it checked.

I have had clotting during menustration for quite a long time some of it was down to an ovarian cyst which wasnt discovered until I had a scan but other times I was told this can happen and as long as there is no pain or smell or any other symptoms it could be just heavy periods, if you are worried I suggest you seek medical advice. Take care. Ps: my clotting eased when I started taking an evening primrose capsule every day, it took a month to work.

I am definitely not regnant nor was i. I forgot to mention. I am 46, had my tubes tied when I was 25. I'll try the primrose capsule and see if that works. I was just wondering if any other women had had the same problem and maybe had some ideas abut why.

I have been having clots during my periods for quite a few years now....My Dr. Said it was quite normal during perimenopause.You say you are 46?I'd say it's normal,but if you're concerned,talk to your doctor.

Hi,
have you had recent pelvic exam,ultrasound,or pap smear. This has happened to me,and I have fibroids,which are benign tumors in uterus,and can make you bleed heavily. Sometimes they will shrink and go away on their own,or sometimes,you need a hysterectomy,or have them removed.

Without pain or other symptoms like heavy bleeding, it's probably nothing to be concerned about. But any change in your normal cycle should mean seeing a doctor.

I passed clots for 20 years without pain, my doctor said it wasn't a problem. The only thing that brought relief was bcp, but those brought their own problems. Without a foul odor or fever, it's probably nothing bad. It could be polyps or fibroids. Polyps can be treated with a d&c, fibroids can be removed surgically.

Personally, it sounds to me like polyps. My doctor also suggested oil of evening primrose.

Give your doctor a call and make an appointment. Let us know how it turns out.

Take care.

Jadebear I agree with you.Im in periomenopause and clot.Also some months im scant.It varies

Hi. I'm having a problem with clotting, too. After two missed periods I started spotting this past weekend, put it was more clots than blood. They are really large, and black. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I'm going to a gyn on friday, but if anyone has any ideas, i'd love to hear them, so I can ask then;)

thanks.

After my third child, my periods had gotten more painful, lasting longer, and I started clotting. I talked to my obgyn and he talked me into having a procedure called novasure done. It is where the lining of your uterus is burned out (endometrium lining) that makes you have your period. Ever since I had it done, my periods have been less painful, no clotting and very short. I am glad I had it done. It is definately something to talk to your obgyn about if you are done having children and your periods are bad.
I am glad I did it!
