Your period might take several years to settle into a regular pattern. If you're really concerned, talk to a doctor or health worker.

I have been doing the same thing for 7 weeks now and still going strong. Of the 7 weeks, 5 have been heavy with blood clots ranging from dime size to like you mentioned, grapefruit size. I have taken many showers to relieve the cramping and many times the largest ones 'fall out' then. I have been to my gyno. who just wanted me to double my birth control pills for 7 days. That didn't work and I had to go to the ER because to constant cramping pain was getting so bad. After tons of blood work and other checks. I am anemic, obviously, but everything according to the ER Dr. was normal. How is this normal? He had me triple my birth control pills and gave me hydrocodone for the pain. I can't even work because of this. I tried to once and thank goodness I took several extra pairs of clothes because I bled through 3 times within an 8 hr shift. I can go through a super size tampon and thick maxi pad within 30 minutes on some days and I never know when. I'm only 29 and have one child. I would like to have another, but at this point I am really contemplating going ahead and getting it all removed.

I have had the same problem for many years now and each doctor I have gone to cant seem to figure out what and why exactly is going on down there..lol..they have put me on many trials of birth control with hormone treatments that for a short time works and then its back to the same oh thing with the clots and bleeding they have also done many dnc's that also had no effect on thr Colts or bleeding and when I had plead for a hystorectomy they tossed that thought out the window it has been 6 YEARS and counting dealing with the massive blood lose with many blood transfusion and many different trials of hormonal treatments and dnc's...I pop iron pills like tick-taks and im crossing my fingers that this new doctor will final. Do both of us a favor and remove it all together

Ever since I started my period when I was 11 years old, I've never had a normal cycle. It would skip 2 or 3 months between periods & I've always been concerned about it. I was never a big goer to my doctor's and now I regret it because I'm not covered anymore. (My insurance was Medi-Cal). This is the first time that I've noticed blood clots in my period & became concerned because as of today, I've been heavily bleeding for 11 days straight with no light days. I'm very concerned about my health and don't know what to do since I have no health insurance. Advice? Help? Please.
