The heaviest period of my LIFE! TMI warning

[tambo1976]

Please dont read if your squeamish!

Well I havn't been ttc for long (2 cycles) and the witch got me 2 days ago but today I had the worst bleeding I have ever had... It literally poured out of me and when I wiped, in the tissue was a huge bloodclot... like huge... it has really scared me. Im not sure whether I should visit the doctor. I have had zero pain (all except the usual monthly cramps) which is a good thing but what the hell could cause me to pass such a huge bloodclot?

Any thoughts ladies pls?

aww hun I wouldn't worry, when I get a heavy period my clots can be very big, I know it sounds stupid but I think it's a good thing as it shows you are clotting blood okay. I got more worried last month with my period as I had NO clotting and after much research found out that because I was losing the blood so quickly my body didn't have a chance to clot it properly.

Omg Liz thanks for that! I doubt I would have slept tonight... Im so glad to hear its normal (and possibly a good thing!)

It actually kinda knocked me sick... Im no good with blood! Give me a dirty nappy and puke all day long but blood urghhhhh

LOL Liz's anwser grossed me out WAY worse than the original post...
But she's probably right. I've had those before, and it freaked me out a little too. You're not alone.

Bloodclots are very normal! I think I have had them ever since I started having periods..I'm not squimish at all

Snap, Ive always had clots, usually the first/second day then it dies down. Actually I think mines have gotten bigger as I have got older.. as I seem to remember them being tiny and now the ones I see these days are a tad bigger, not huge but then everyone is different, some might get small some might get big ones.

Im sure theres nothing major to worry about if you had normal cramps ect..

Yeah. I always thought I had my clots because i have irregular and heavy periods so there was like too much blood??

But i sometimes get big ones or little tiny ones.
