blood clots during my period

by worriedteen9, Sep 24, 2008 11:29AM
Im 17 years old and my periods are for the most part regular they only last about 4-5 days, but i've noticed when im changing my tampons there is usually a dark red blod clot. Its not HUGE but its a good size. I just recently started having sex with my boyfriend and i thought that might be the reason but this was happening before we became sexually active. i was worried about TSS maybe, but i really dont show any of the symptoms. What could be causing this? Is it normal?

This is perfectly normal, as far as I know.  It happens to me too.  Just part of what your body is cleaning out.
