menstrual cycle and blood clotting

[needinganswers101]

For the past several months I have been bleeding more heavily and have been passing pretty good sized blood clots some the size of nickles and quarters while i have read it is m\normal to clot if you are a heavy bleeder these are bigger clots than i have normally ever had I am getting ready to turn 34 so don't know if this is just premenopause stuff or what can anyone tell me if this is normal.

Hi
I get that too really badly but i am only 18 so for me i dont think it would be pre menopause, doctors have put me on the pill and said give it a few months and it should lighten a little but i have had t ever since i got my period when i was 11 so about 7 years ago. ( now 18)

Hi I pass blood clots also.About a year ago i had a pelvic ultrasound and they found blood clots in my uterus and this was caused by being on the depo provera shot for 2 years.I have been passing them for a bout a yaer now.Maybe you should set up an appt with your gy.Im sure they will be able to tell you why your passing blood clots as they did me.Hope everthings alright for you.

If you are on the pill, I know it's suppose to prevent ovulation, but can you still suffer from cramping and bleeding when you would normally be ovulating?  Is this normal?  It has been happening the last couple of months about 2 weeks after the start of my last period.  Do I need to change pills?

I'd definitely talk to the doc and see if he thinks it is a good idea.  Some bc pills just do better with some women's bodies, and others do better with others.  You could also be having some kind of bacterial thing going on.  Time to go for a check-up.  Good luck!
