To many clots

Hi. Im having some issues understanding why im clotting so much during my period. I know that some clots can be there but mine are ridiculous. Like three to five inches long. What could be going on?

I agree as well that size is not normal however nothing to to get worried about either. I would just book an appointment when you get a chance.

Hi there and welcome.  Actually, large  clots of the size you describe might not be normal.  I'd let your doctor know as 3 to 5 inch clots are very large.  I had some after giving birth and my doctor needed a phone call from me immediately if they were golf ball size or larger.  Have you had your annual pelvic exam this year yet?  I'd mention it then for sure.  good luck dear
