Re: Large clot during period

I think this was the biggest clot I ever saw but then again I never saw one in the shower, it would usually be when I go to the toilet. So maybe it just looked bigger when it landed on the shower floor. It looked about the size of my 3 middle fingers if they were stretched out flat and stuck together (or almost as big as that), but it did start to break up almost as soon as I saw it.
When I got out of the shower I had to sit down for about 10 minutes due to bad cramping, which I still have now half an hour later but not as bad.
I'm just worried my clots are getting bigger. And my HA brain is trying to tell me something is wrong.
And SnowyGreen's previous reply has kind of scared me.
How large have any of your clots been?
Awww I didn't mean to scare you. I just don't like to brush everything under the anxiety umbrella, as huge clots were nothing to do with menopause, stress, anxiety for me, so it pays to see a doctor when something is out of the ordinary. But my clots were huge, way bigger than the ones you describe, and there was a lot of them, and I had flooding so bad, I would stand up and blood would come out like a tap, and then during the times this didn't happen, I always had a watery discharge, sometimes pink tinged. So you see, there are heaps of symptoms that go together. But the clots you describe, I had those too, years ago when everything was normal for me, so I really don't think you have anything to worry about x
