Yes, it is totally normal. My periods
would have clotting and be very heavy at
times. Hope that makes you feel better!

Well probably not since you had your
period. But I would say you are
definately not pregnant if you have
clotting. I am just guessing though! :)

Hehe.. Ok.. Thanks for clearing that
up.... Another question tho.... My
period is due in 3 days, and I am already
having mild cramps (have been since
sunday), my nipples are like widening (my
husband mentioned it to me) and I have
been having that brown, slimy
discharge.... Are these signs of my
period? Or should I be concerned?

Megum, I think it is pre period. I got
that the last time.
Just wait for a couple more days and see
how it goes. If no period then you may
want to do a preg test.
About period clots or chunks, I do have
that too. Sometimes one hugh pc just flow
through. I suspect that the tissue is
not disintergrating that it should. I
read somewhere that period should not have
any clots.

Megums1211 - i'd be interested to know if
you get your period. I've had that
brown, slimy, like stringy substance
before too and wondered what it meant. I
just had it for several days...It was more
grayish pinkish at the beginning and dark
brown at the end...Then I started my
period today.
Snowygirl - sometimes I get a lot of
clotting too...I've heard it's normal

Yes I started my period yesterday. But
i'm very concerned... Last night I woke
up in the middle of the night and I was
sopping wet in blood. I wore a super plus
tampon to bed and normally that is more
than enough to get me through the night...
I was only asleep for about 4 hours when
I woke up. And I was laying in a pool of
blood :? I was also passing some big
"clots" of blood..... And the clots (when
they would pass through) would cause me
really severe cramps... Any advice?

That really doesn't sound normal to
me---clots shouldn't hurt they just come
out like the liquidy stuff does---i'd call
ur doc or emerge and see whats up with
that =s

You think I should call the doc? I
noticed a trend that every time I would
have a few minutes of severe cramping,
then I would pass what i'm assuming is a
clot. It was deep red, almost looked
black, and was like a little ball of slimy
blood

The clotting is completely normal....It is
just part of your lining the womb forms
during your cycle to prepare for a fertile
egg! And the brown slimy gunge is a
mucus formed by your cervix. Nothing
to worry about! Its what keeps your
cervix closed during pregnancy. The
cramps are normal too, its the muscles
spasaming I often get it.
I was pregnant last year and miscarried at
4 months I got about 10 times the amount
of clots and slimy stuff than normal.
If it didnt all come out then you wud just
be full of mucus. The spasms happen
every month to push it all out, they are
sometimes more noticable than others.
If blood clots come out a deep red they
are fresh...Blood that is a few days old
is often brown or black!
Also not wanting to upset anybody but you
can concieve without knowing and for many
reasons miscarry having a period that is
heavier than normal that may be why u
noticed the cramps. It is very common.
It happens to every woman without them
even knowing!
But dont let that put you off trying!!!!
I tried with my ex for 1 1/2 years...We
stopped trying and I stopped thinking
about getting pregnant next thing I knew I
was 2 months pregnant without knowing!!
You could try that? Worked for me!! The
mind is a powerful thing!!

Clotting and cramping are normal but not
when you are pregnant. I know from
experience, every month when I had my
period I would end up in the nurses room
where they had beds for about 1 to 2 hours
laying down, cramping until the clots
stopped. Then I would be o.K., when I was
at home I would take som ginger spice and
put it in hot wate to disolve the ginger
then after it cooled, I would drink it and
it would help with the cramps and I would
put my feet up for about 1 hour and that
would work great even though the ginger
and water woul sort of gag me.
If you feel that if you are cramping and
bleeding my suggestion is to get to the
Dr. I had two periods with both kids and
I was cramping with both but that was
mainly my body was getting ready for the
baby's, and that is just the way my body
was at the time as we are all different.
Megums1211, what you are goig thru does
not soudn right at all you really need to
go get checked out with a Dr.
Good luck to all!

Clotting is normal for many women. I get
big chunks that look like pieces of liver
sometimes.
But if it is something that you personally
have never experienced before, then you
should see a doctor.
