I hope this is the right place to post...
I'll try and explain this the best I can.
I also apologise in advance for any
graphic detail.
I'm on the pill so I'm thinking this could
be a result of it. I also haven't had a
period since October since I take the pill
often for months at a time due to
endometriosis and heavy/painful menstrual
cycles. I also don't have a partner.
Is it normal for a fleshy-type discharge
to appear? Even just once in half a dozen
cycles? It's happened a few times now
(only once per period though) but not with
every period. I'm thinking this is just my
uterus lining and perhaps its thicker
because I haven't had a period for a few
months. Normally I have extremely bad
cramps before passing whatever it is.
It just feels very odd to pass such a
large piece of unknown matter. The first
time it was perhaps an inch or two square
in size and fell into my towel so I
curiously felt it and it was just "fleshy"
and pinkish in colour. Today I passed
something similar in the bathroom but
didn't get too close of a look. It was
more two inches long and less thick than
the first time and didn't look all that
pleasant. Not your regular blood clot
anyway.
Anyway, sorry if I've grossed anyone out.
I just want to give the most accurate
account I can. I guess I'd just like to
know if it's normal to pass anything other
than blood during your menstrual cycle.
Thanks for any advice.

If its during your period, its probably
just tissue that was along with your
lining. I wouldn't worry about it unless
if it is causing you pain or happening at
times where you aren't supposed to be
having your period.
