Ok I'm sorry for the gross details, but I'm kind of worried.
Everytime I have my period, it is really really bad. I have so much pain and am completely unable to do anything on the 1st-2nd day. I bleed so much... I know they say it's normal to bleed however many ounces, but how do I know how much I bleed? I'm not going to stick a measuring cup down there for 5-6 days!
I really feel that I bleed a lot... too much. I have my period for 5 or 6 days and it's only that short because I'm on birth control. Before I was on it, it would sometimes be 7, and even one time 12 days (but that was wayyyy when I first got my period so it coulda just been my body getting used to it or whatever...)
I'm on the pill (2nd kind b/c 1st didnt help), I get really bad cramps, and bleed a lot... what really worries me is that I have lots of big blood clots too... It's really gross...
Anyone have any suggestions as to what is wrong? I am so worried I wont be able to have kids one day or something...

Years ago when I took the pill, the Dr. put me on a birth control and I had the same reaction - a lot of clotting. I requested he change the birth control medication, and it worked, no more clotting and back to normal. Maybe they just need to figure out what birth control works for your body.
Go back to your Dr. and tell him this is happening, and for how long it has been going on. Ask for a change of birth control again. Keep going back till you find the one that works for you and your body.
Good luck!

These could be symptoms of fibroids. Many women have this problem. Some have severe pains others don't. Some heavy bleeding. Usually the blood clots are the key. In your case it could also be side affects from the birth control. Before you panic, see a doctor. It's differs from one women to another.

Sounds like endometriosis or ovarian cysts.Get checked out by a Doctor and they will tell you. I had endometriosis and I had 2 beautiful healthy children so don't worry, but, definitely see your doctor.

the best thing to do is to get it checked by a doctor....blood clots aren't normal...but it might just be a side effect of the pills you are taking...dont panic and get it checked early

I had the same problems, I am sorry to say that I had endometrial cancer. Please just go see your doctor and persist on testing. It took one year before they diagnosed me. Maybe this is not your problem, but something is not right.
