Hi All,
I have 2 worries regarding periods..........the first is my daughter, (15) who started her period a year ago has for the second time had large clots at the start, by large i mean slightly smaller than a ping pong ball!! I know its gross but ive had a poke at them and they look like lumps of liver to me and are smooth. I did take her to the nurse the first time it happened last year and she said nothing to worry about, but she panics when she gets one of these like im sure anyone would. Has anyone had these type of clots regularly?? Could they be genetic, my mum used to always have horrendious periods and i think she used to say she always had clotts.
Period problem 2 is my own.......my anxiety includes medication and i stopped taking the pill in january, my periods since then have been "off" can come every 2 weeks or have a 4 week gap, i always had irregular periods and was given the pill at 16 to regulate them and have been on it ever since (im now 38) but they now take ages to stop, i have light periods now which can last for weeks, i got my last one on the 15th october and its still on, it is light and its just annoying!!!! I also get small stringy clots through it which worry me.
as the pill regulated my periods for so long im all anxious about these periods, there is no extra pain or anything its just like a looooooooooong period and its getting me a bit down now.
my smears are up to date and have always been ok
Any advice much appreciated.
