Hello, I am a 26 y/o female with 2 children, 3 and 18 months. I have had abnormal periods most of my life, but they have ocurred monthly. I have been under a lot of stress lately so I am sure that has something to do with it. I am married, but I still use protection to prevent pregnancy. I just passed a rather large clot, about 2.5-3 inches long when I went to the bathroom. I haven't had any other signs of pregnancy, or miscarriage. I donated blood 2.5 weeks ago, so i figured that my period would be lighter. Normally the first 2 days are so heavy that I have to wear a super tampon (and change it every hour) along with a panty liner. This month I have only had to wear one tampon, and then it seemed like it quit, but today, just in case i wore a liner, and though it is not full, it has a darker reddish-brown blood, and when i went to the bathroom i passed that large clot, the largest i have passed since childbirth. Anyone have any suggestions, opinions, or help???

P.S. I also (on top of all the stress) had the 24 hour stomach flu the same day i started my period. I started before i actually got sick.

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
The occasional passing of clots or endometrial tissues during menstrual periods is considered to be normal. The stress of infection, blood donation could have affected the flow. Wait for your next periods and observe your menstrual cycles for next 2-3 cycles and visit your gynecologist/obstetrician for further evaluation and assistance if you find them abnormal or if you develop any other associated symptoms. Treatment as appropriate (based on the examination findings and investigation results) would be started to help you regulate your periods.
If pregnancy is suspected, look out for development of any new symptoms suggestive of pregnancy and consider visiting your gynecologist at the earliest for thorough examination (to confirm pregnancy related changes/signs in body) and blood/serum HCG level test (to confirm/rule out pregnancy accurately). Be in regular monitoring and follow-up with your treating doctor/gynecologist and report any new/abnormal symptoms immediately. Drink plenty of water. Take adequate rest.
Take care.
