very strange and painful period, what's going on with it?

Question

Ok my period came 3 days ago, it was only a few days late....no biggie but when it came, woahhhh it came with a vegence. I had the worst cramps i have ever had and there was a lot of blood. I had a lot of little black clotts and then last night, I had a clott that wasnt black...It was like a thick piece of flesh. It almost looked like a mini steak....this has never happened before, Im not exagerating it was about a centimeter thick, what is going on and should I be worried?

I am sexually active but i took a pregnancy test and it was negative....

Answer 1

You wrote that your period was late: is there a chance you were pregnant and this was a early spontaneous miscarriage? Being a few days late would not “show” any visible fetus at miscarriage, but might explain the pain, the blood and blood clots (which can look very much like a piece of meat).
Any delay of your period (because of stress, hormonal imbalance etc.) can cause kind of heavier and more painful periods afterwards.
If you continue to bleed heavily or to have quite a bit of pain with this period, better go and see urgently your doctor to exclude an ongoing (even worse: ectopic?) pregnancy o some "retained products of pregnancy" etc.
If you continue with heavy, painful periods in the future, try anti-inflammatory tablets like Ibuprofen o Mefenamic Acid and consider seeing your doctor to exclude endometriosis o uterine fibroids. Good luck.
PS (after reading your additional details): Pregancy tests, especially the ones using urine, are not 100% sensitive in the very early days of pregancy.

I'm really glad you asked this ? b/c I had the same
thing happen last month it was really different
usually I have a moderate period every month
but last month was exacly what your describing
very painful and heavy and I have been putting off going to see a doctor,but I wonder if they would be able to tell
if I was really pregnant?I 'm actually on again and this period is normal no clotts no pain .Take care

Answer 3

Are you sexually active if you are it could have been a miscarrieage. I have had one, when I passed the baby it looked like a clott, but it wasn't black it was red and was think to. Then you could have miscarried,but everything is alright.

Answer 4

You should really make an appointment with your OB GYN on this or call and request info. They may or may not need to see you. Especially if it's a miscarriage.
