Mass in period warning photo

[tty]

Day four of what I thought was a heavy and particularly heavy period. My periods are usually painful and heavy the first day since kids. Bleeding stopped yesterday but then this morning I flooded and after sitting on the toilet felt something'fall out'

It is much larger than a 50p II have taken a picture next to a super plus extra tampon and when prodded with an unused tampon it was like a meaty texture so not a clot of blood. What could this be?

I have attached photo

Chunk of lining.

Look up ‘endometrial cast, Op. Looks alarming, but not uncommon.

Could be a decidual cast?

No not that as had a heavy three day period previously

It wasn't blood it wouldn't break up at all

Clotted blood is very thick and jelly like, it doesn't break up easily at all. It can even be spongy in texture. Looks like a huge clot to me.

I'm used to getting clots and this felt very different but I didn't know that so thank you

Could it be a miscarriage?

It looks like a clot to me.

It doesn't look like it

Looks like a clot to me. I wouldn’t worry about it but see your GP if you’re concerned.

Looks like a clot. Most of my period leaves my body in gross, slimy clumps...

I've passed two decidual casts and they were pale, fleshy and literally the shape of my uterus. Fascinating and horrific in equal mesaure.

Not a miscarriage, it's a chunk of lining. It happens sometimes - I've had some huge ones! Usually on particularly heavy months. On occasion I'll have evil period pains, then a chunk like that will pass through and the pain immediately goes.

Horrible but yes, more likely to be lining. I once passed something horrifically large during a very heavy period. Worth mentioning to the GP if you ever see them about periods. I say a gynaecologist a while ago about heavy periods and they asked if I ever had clots bigger than a 50p, I actually laughed at him as that was so common - didn’t realise it wasn’t!

A clot. I was terrified the first time i experienced them, and were sure they were “meaty” as you say, but that’s just how clots are. If blood sits inside you for a while this is how it comes out.

With heavy periods you could probably benefit from a scan to see just how thick the lining is. Flooding is not normal and can be helped.

If you have any concerns you could have been pregnant I would take a test - it might still come up positive. To be honest, it does look like some of my miscarriages so if I were you I'd get checked out just in case. If you get any signs of infection (fever, chills, etc) get to the hospital.

I’ve had similar, felt a bit light headed afterward but I am squeamish. It’s a decidual cast, felt like a grape popping out. Grim! But nothing to worry about.

Took a pregnancy test, got a line, so guess it's unlikely it is just a clot. Will call epu tomorrow to see if i need to be checked ir whatever
