Passing these clots

[Mummmy1986]

sorry for the image but I’m on day 2 of my period n been passing these clots . This is the 6 clot of the day should I worry??

I would call the GP as that's a large clot. Do you normally pass clots?

Is there any chance you could have been pregnant and you're having a miscarriage?

YABU for not putting an image warning...

How old are you, I'm getting this now I'm in peri. Joy.

I got like that in peri, but they progressed over time, rather than starting that way. I ended up on iron tablets (and B12 at one point.) And ended up being referred to gynae.

I would want it checked, especially as itnot normal for you.

The use of the word "these" in the title implies there is something to see. So not really surprising there's a photo.

And, if you didn't want to see, why click on a thread that had more of a chance of seeing a clot than say a thread about a birthday party....

Clue was in the title.

OP, I tend to pass blood clots that are similar. Strangely they’ve made my period lighter because they seem to come away like that when I go to the toilet.

I pass clots like that these days - BUT - like others here, it's not come on suddenly - after each child my periods got heavier/more clotty, and when I asked my GP, she said that there were various medications that might help a bit which I could try, and some more drastic things if it was un-manageable, but nothing that would actually fix it (apart from menopause). So I take iron and just deal with it for a few days a month, while I wait out peri!

If this is a sudden change, definitely get it checked out!

If you are coming up to or in peri, that's fairly typical. It's like passing chunks of chopped liver. If you're not, best to get it checked.

In early perimenopause I would frequently pass clots that size and larger. Same as @youngoldthing's experience, I would pass them, and my period would be the shorter for it, maybe two days length max. Now I'm in late-peri, no more clots, and lighter (but thicker) flow. I shouldn't worry about it, unless your flow is exceptionally and unusually heavy.
