Hi im 19 years old & i started my period at the age of 16. I usually have my period every other month! I know its weird. My periods last from 1 week to a whole month and their always very heavy. I usually change my pad atleast 10 or more times a month. There are times i have to insert a medium amount of toilet paper in there to save my pads!! Its crazy! Im very sexually active but only when i have the time (off my period) I would like to go to a doctor but im afraid to tell my mother. I really need help. I have extream blood clots every morning like around 4-6am. with bad cramps! my blood clots are the size of 3-6 inches long & 2 inches wide. The longest blood clot was the size of my whole palm. Looking like a giant ball of jello. There are times that i have those after i had sex and i orgasm. When i orgasm and im "cuming" all my juice comes out in a jello like substance. i really need help! please anyone!

Go see a doctor.  You could have fibroids or uterine polyps.  Both are very treatable.

I am 35 years old and am seeming to have the same problem a lot of you have had or are having. I woke up last night to go to the bathroom, and blood was streaming down both my legs. It scared me to death. Never had anything happen to me like this before when Im on my period. I also get really huge blood clots toward the end of my period. Pain more severe than when I had my children. Does anyone have ant idea what could be going on

I started my period on Monday, march 28 I have been bleeding very very heavy. I started clotting yesterday but not big clots. When I went to the bathroom this morning at 7:20 I put on a tampon and pad. By time I got to work at 8:00 my tampon was full of blood and my pad was soaked with blood. I used the bathroom and I had a blood clot the size of my fist come out. Now two weeks ago I had light pink spotting that lasted a couple of hours could I be miscarrying? Yes I am sexually active and we have been trying.
