When you're on your period and this big blob thingy comes out, is that the egg?

Blood is pushed out of your uterus when the uterus contracts (you don't necessarily feel these contractions, but when they are strong, you feel them as cramps). The uterus releases "anti-coagulants" during menstruation. These are supposed to keep the blood from clotting up as it passes from the uterus to the vagina, thus making the whole bleeding process easier.
But if you have days of heavy cramps and heavy bleeding, you may pass dark, chunky clots of blood. On such days your contractions are so fast and so strong that the blood gets forced out before the anti-coagulants have time to take effect. So the blood clots. And you pass big chunky gobs of stuff.

No, but I used to think that though. I read in a book that eggs are smaller than a grain of dust and you'd have to use a REALLY good microscope to see it. Usually those big blobs are clots or drops of blood. I have seen blobs like those before and at first I freaked out. But in the end, there's nothing to worry about.

First of all its not gross, please take it out of mind.
Even, the problem is very normal one. Every month, the body prepares itself for pregnancy and forms a uterine lining. When ovulation occurs but fertilisation doesn't then this lining and whole preparation is dumped. This process takes around 28 days and is called menstrual cycle.
During the cycle, the whole prep. may form some clots of blood which is pushed out of body by certain force. Some do feel this actually in the form of cramps. Actually, the muscles involved are the same that push the baby out.
As far as the egg is concerned, it requires a microscopic lens to see it and no naked eye can view it.
Hope, you don't feel the answer is gross too. I just have tried to pass on whwtever knowledge I have on the subject.

No. The egg is microscopic and it dissolves into nothing if not fertilized. The blob is a clot.

No, the egg is too small to be seen with the naked eye. Those are just blood clots; very normal. But, maybe you should've put this question in the women's health section because putting this in the teen section will only result in immature people reading this.

you can't see the eggs with out a microscope so no. it is a blood clot (slightly dried blood that get stuck to more blood which makes a blob)

No it's just a blood clot. The egg is so tiny that you can't even see it.
