I get clots and sometimes I know when they are coming due to sudden sharp pain, blood do clot this is normal. With very big clots there could be a variety of causes eg fibroid, type of birth control using, menopause, miscarriage etc. All of these require medical attention as soon as possible.These things can be fixed.
The warning signs to seek your Dr. is when you notice these charges suddenly, that is ,when they never happened before, very , very heavy flow , and longer duration of your period.
I hope there is no real problem.

It is normal to have blood clots with your period. The clots should be dark red or brown.
However, I do not know the size of the clots, and if they are extemely large then you may have a problem.
GO to your gyno and ask. You can describe the size, color, frequency, etc.
Good Luck.

It is normal to have clots maybe the size of a quarter but really no bigger and especially depending on how frequent you get them. I wouldn't waste any time wondering, just find an obgyn to be sure. Ignoring it could lead to endometriosis(severe bleeding) or cancers. Good luck.

it is normal as long as they are no bigger than the size of a grape. It is just the normal clotting factor in blood that causes it. IF they are the size of a golf ball or larger...you need to see your doctor as it can indicate fibroids (which slow the flow...) or other endometrial problems.

depending on what you define as "big" it's normal.
I mean passing a clot the size of a softball wouldn't be normal, but anything golf ball size or smaller is not uncommon.

Very normal to pass clots. If they are very large i would mention it to your physician though...just for a peace of mind.

Ewww... Its gross, isn't it ?
Yes, I get them too and they are common.
However, some of us get them more than others. However, if they are excessive and you think its too much; I would advise you to see a doctor.
I did and I have endometriosis. I can't do anything about it, unless I have a hysterectomy or something; but at least you will know!!!
Good Luck :)
