I'm 17, I've been on my period since I was 12 so I'm no stranger to my aunt flow. I've got something incredibly alien to me going on, and I don't have the slightest idea what it may be.
I was sitting on one of the recliners in my living room and I felt what I had assumed was my period start. No big deal, get up, go to the bathroom and do the tampon thing. Wrong. I got there, and when I wiped to be sure, there was this dry looking brown blobby wormy looking thing on the paper. Upon closer inspection I found that it was rubbery, and wiped again there was a second blob/worm/whatever, looked the same only balled up. I called my mom at her work and after waiting a half hour for her to come to the phone *her boss answered and told me to wait a minute* she pretty much said that it was just funky clotting. I've never seen dry clotting with the period.
I'm on depo, had a full pelvic exam and three mandatory pregnancy tests for depo since I've had sex. What the * is happening?

Okay, y'all have helped my mental status at the moment a bit. I've just never had a clot that wasn't accompanied by blood, and I'll admit that I watched a show on NGC the other night about parasites, and there was the recent dealing with something in my foot, and some weird symptoms I was having not all that long ago. My stomach felt like a pregnant person's stomach, which in hind sight may have just been bloating.
As for depo, I do have to agree that it is crap. It screws up my period so bad that I never know when it's going to happen or how long it's gonna last. Reason I went on it was because my now ex was hell-bent on getting me pregnant and getting married, and I was just not gonna go for that. Depo was the easy option out of that, and I've been on it almost a year.

The Depo shot is not the greatest method of birth control, it tends to really mess up the periods (and mental status) of some women.
You need to go to your Gyno and get some better advice from him/her. Just because your mother is a woman does not mean she knows everything about the menstrual cycle. Good luck, sweetie.

Dry clotting as you call it could be very normal. It could be break through bleeding from ovulation that dried in some cervical mucus (which is common for some women) or it could be just a faint period clot because of the depo shot. Depo has been known to decrease or even wipe out periods in women, especially if you are on the smaller side. If this is the case, you could very well be experiencing this and that might be a sign your body was trying to expel some tissues and the depo is relaying messages to contradict that. I would not worry unless the clots become much larger and darker with blood. Say the size of a fist or better. Good luck and try to relax.

Two of my well peers have this identical predicament. They each went to their medical professionals and there used to be not anything particularly flawed with them. They have the choice of going onto start manage to try to keep an eye on it greater, even though. They each began their durations at a more youthful age, too. I listen in the event you begin it more youthful, the extra hazard that it will be abnormal. My great recommendation is to move for your health practitioner (yeah, I know the way that's, you REALLY do not wish to move). But it's particularly the most secure factor. Just in case, you realize? It might be not anything, however it is greater to get a reputable opinion. Just inform your mother that you're enormously abnormal. It's embarrassing, however your mother will realise. She wishes you to be healthful, and if you are involved, I'm definite she'd wish to get it looked at to be certain you are ok. It's not anything that you just did flawed, so there may be not anything particularly you will have to be terrified of.

It sounds normal to me I get the same kind of thing every time I have my period. But if your worried about have your mom take you to your doctor. Or give them a call and talk to the nurse she'll be able to tell you what she thinks it could be or if you should come on it to the doc.

it is just clotting,caused by a heavier flow of blood that clotted before it came out
