So so so sorry for photos - I've been bleeding for weeks - honestly can't even remember the last time I had sex (1 year old in bed with us hehe). I've had some small clots - but this one just come today-
I was on antibiotics last week because when I contacted the doctors about the clots and a smell they said it was Bacterial vaginosis which I had a few years back so I knew it was the same- anyway this has just happened. I have had a closer look- can't see any 'form' of a child or little bones etc..
what do people think? Xx

I passed something similar to your picture. My first 3 days I bleed brown blood. I passed what look to be blood clots for week straight but im still bleeding its going on a week and half. I missed 2 period even had some pregnancy symptoms but there longer present. Plus no one confirm if i was even pregnant. I’m just feeling sad because i think i was.

Hi I’m new on here and have a question? I’m 11weeks and 1day pregnant by my last period this is my 4th pregnancy including 1 miscarriage, I have been experiencing bleeding since Tuesday night with some cramps not server enough for me to take pain relief, It started brown with a few little clots but now I’m wearing a pad and it’s like a period with red blood and clots size of 20p? I have to wait for a phone call from early pregnancy unit? Any one have any ideas what could be going on with me?
Thanks x

@ @WoWsers16 what did your doctor say about passing clots vaginally while having a bowel movement? I am having that same issue.

WoWsers16 · 05/11/2021 11:53

Hello! I'm so sorry I never got any notifications to say people had commented -
Well they were blood clots - after I'd been to the doctors I had ultrasounds that were clear and clear swabs, I then got an appointment at the hospital.

It ended up being cervical cancer. I was stage 2B and I had radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It's been a difficult year- the pandemic didn't help!
So my word to anyone is if you're having blood clots see the doctor ASAP for checks. This was my only symptom (and bleeding after sex). I was so lucky to be diagnosed as my smears have always been clear! I also have never had HPV. Any questions please just ask xx

Hi ,

Am 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant and I had mild cramps and one small blood clot. I’ve been to the doctors and they told me don’t worry your fine but I just don’t know?

Were you still pregnant after it was just a blood clot?

@Imalicious16

I don't know if this was aimed at me or another poster but I wasn't pregnant at all - these were blood clots as a cervical cancer symptom unfortunately :(

When I miscarried it had a blue tinge, and was in the shape of a sac - nothing like this.

How are you now @WoWsers16 ?

WoWsers16 · 13/12/2021 17:36

@czycoup

How are you now *@WoWsers16* ?
I'm now in remission! I had chemotherapy and radiotherapy, been a tough year! I've never missed a smear and they've always been clear so a massive shock!

But all good hopefully- my year scan was clear but obviously it's a worry it will come back at some point

Early menopause isn't the best either! Xxx

I'm so glad to hear that and hope this remains the case for a very very long time. X

Sorry about graphic content. I was wondering if I miscarried? I suddenly had urgency to pee and I had very sharp lower abdomen pain when I gone to urinate. Last night, I was cramping so much and had severe lower back pain too.

Woman40 · 02/01/2022 11:26

It looks like a blood clot but normally when I pass clots there's two or more at same time. Yet, this one is only one at time.

Stormy87 · 02/01/2022 12:02

Hello I'm 34 yrs old, I have no children. I would love to have kids but don't think I can. I had a miscarriage in 2010. Which I knew I was pregnant at the time. Well I started my period 2 days ago my period are very painful but this time it's worse then normal for me. I went to the restroom and I'm not sure what happened, I always have clots but I literally felt this just fall out

Evelinka · 13/01/2022 02:50

Did you find out what that was? I just had something by similar pass while using the bathroom..this makes me nervous 😐

Mekabell · 27/01/2022 14:08

Hello all. So January of 2021 I had a miscarriage. That image of it was definitely an embryo as it was almost see thru and in the shape of a baby. You can see the shape of the fetus. However I recently got a positive test. Now I am bleeding heavily and passing large clots. The embryo hasn't come out yet. Yes I have pelvic pressure with it as well as abdominal pain with cramping. When will it come out and is it possible to have all the symptoms and yet it still hold on going on to have a normal pregnancy?

@WoWsers16

I hope you don’t mind me jumping in on this conversation? I’m new to this platform.

So sorry to hear about your outcome but over the moon your in remission :)

Basically I’m after some information/advice.

Me and my oh was dtd a few weeks ago and when we were finished I passed a biggish clot it was firm almost felt like a stone. I do bleed in between my periods but had tests done 2yrs ago and everything was normal. I’ve had a baby and an ectopic since and it’s gone back to bleeding irregular.
Anyway tonight I went to the toilet for a number 2 and passed a big hard clot (painless) obviously I’m totally freaked!

Ever since the first clot I booked an app with gp he put it down to cervical ectropion which I’ve never had he told me it was from contraception but I haven’t been in contraception for 8yrs (little one is IVF baby) and never swabbed etc he referred me to gynae and she took some swabs but only to rule out infection. I haven’t had any results back but my smear is due and booked in for 9th March. I guess I just want answers I’m so scared. This isn’t normal for me.

Should I have had bloods done and a urine sample?

Thank you

Paige xx

Hey so sorry to hear about this!
Just to mention that smears only test for HPV now not cancer cells so a clear smear doesn't mean no cancer!
Blood clots were a big part of my diagnosis to be honest -

I would see what your smear says - however I would also try and ask for bloods and note down any other symptoms you may have.

If you bleed during your smear too check that - as when I had an interval ultrasound I bled loads.
Are there any smells too?

Xx

I don't know if you're on Instagram but there are some great people who have also gone through this offering advice - If you search cervical cancer journeys many come up xx

Thank you for getting back to me sweet means a lot :)

I will wait for my smear I have bloods booked in for this coming Monday. I bled whilst gynae took swabs and afterwards. They’ve now ruled out infection as they came back clear. I’m unsure on smell cos doesn’t blood just smell anyway?

I’m not on Instagram unfortunately.

Can I ask you a question? Have you had any more babies?

P.s how do I post a pic to show you? Xx

WoWsers16 · 18/02/2022 15:39

I have 3 children but now can't have anymore due to my treatMent - so I'm lucky in that aspect that I've already got children.
I had smelly discharge too x
