Blood clots

Feeling sorry for myself so apologies. Anyone else getting large clots in perimenopausal periods. Im 40 and have had checks already for fibroids and ultrasound for anything suspicious. Period started 2 days ago only 16 days after last one and in 5 hours have gone through 8 thick pads and large clots in all. Bigger than tablespoon size.

Can only empathise, horrible things giant clots. I didn't realise how painful they were, absolutely hate them. TMI but will never eat tinned tomatoes again.....

Go to your gp. There is a drug you can take to reduce the amount. I am taking it. Can't remember name. Good luck

It’s is common during peri. If your ultrasound is ok and you have no fibroids, there is no need for worry!

Me too & period every 21 rather than 28 days- lucky me Angry

Tranexamic acid would help. Think it's available OTC.
