Hi I just need a bit of advice. I had my baby 4 months ago in October. I have been back on my normal pill for 3 months. I was due on today and came on as normal. As I was driving home this afternoon I had really bad period pain but just put it down to period pains as you do lol. However when I stepped through the door I felt a huge gush, I went to the toilet to sort myself and found a huge clot! Sorry for TMI but I don't know if I should be worried about it or not. I've not really had any clotting since having my baby. Just a bit of advice really.

Oh dear! Call your GP I think!

Not GP, 111! DP is a paramedic and said that you need to keep that in a box/tub and show whatever medical professional you see. Anything that big needs looking at.

It was all balled up when I first looked at it this was after I took it off the towel so I actually flushed it away 😕. I wasn't sure if I should have kept it or not hence why I just took pics of it. My periods have always been heavy and I'm having a heavy period now but it's not soaking a towel an hour.

I don't want to seem over dramatic by calling someone about it lol.

The pic is when I first looked at it before I took it out

Are we sure it just doesn't look worse than it actually is?

Just calll 111 it doesn't matter if it turns out to be nothing, better to waste time than risk your health

There's no way you could have been pregnant is there? I would definitely seek advice and keep the photos.

I forget what the technical name is but i think it is the lining of the uterus and an umcommon but ok result of menstruation. Will google ...

Onthettcbus- I don't think so. I was late to start my pill and we did have sex before I re started it. But I've come on the day I was meant to and it started like a normal period. It's been 3 hours and it's been a normal period so far with the exception of that clot

Hi, I'm Sne. 24 years old. Last time I went to see the gynaecologist they told me that my uterus is bulky, and they gave me Oralcon to stop my periods for about 2 months. My worries nowis that the huge clot with white thing keep coming and they are bigger than before. Plz help me. I also bleed alots its heavy

FallenAngelGrace91 · 11/08/2021 02:09

Wondering if I had a miscarriage or just a weird blood clot. Can some help me?!

CRMummy7921 · 06/01/2022 22:25

I have the same thing! Did you go to a gp it find out if it was something serious?
