Clots: when to start worrying? (may be TMI).

*Apologies if this is TMI, but I just wanted to get some advice on if I should be worried.*

I have AF atm. I've always been a really heavy bleeder for the first 4 days, even using contraceptive pill or an IUD.

This period has been a bit strange, with more AF pains that actually feel alot like wind pain IYKWIM. I've just had my usual 8 days of bleeding, then none at all yesterday or this morning, however whilst in the shower an hour ago I suddenly noticed a large clot on the shower floor. I hadn't even felt it 'exit'. A little while after that I had another one. They were both around 5cm long & 1.5 cm wide.
I'm not feeling any definite AF pains today, just a bit achy, but I'm not sure whether to be worried about the 2 clots. Does anyone have advice?

Thanks in advance.

Eekk...i dont know what to say or advice....have u recently had a baby?

Id be contacting your dr for some advice or possibly the hospital?

Clots of that size sounds worrying to me.

Kimbaz, I haven't recently had a baby (but I have a 2 year old). I remember getting clots during lochia, both bigger & smaller than these.

Where I live it is very hard to get in to see a doctor, and unforunately none of the surgeries are open on Sundays anyway. The hospital is a half hour drive & I am currently on my own with our 2 y.o. I haven't had any more clots since I posted this earlier today, and no sharp pains still just achy. So I guess things are ok? I'm just confused.

I don't want to sound insensitive to anyone, but I have never experienced one so is it possible that this has been some sort of miscarriage? I have an IUD but I also know that contraception (other than abstinence!) isn't 100% effective.

Eden,
i dont mean to scare you but my friends mother fell pregnant with an IUD, and she started getting clots - get someone to get you to the doctor hun. Hoping all is ok xox

Its possible it could be some form of miscarriage..but ive never experianced one so have nothing to go by KWIM....id def try see a dr tmrw...

Perhaps give the hospital a call....tell them whats happened and see whats they say..bit of peace of mind??

Sorry im not alot of help...but i hope all will be ok *Hugs*

ok well iuds can cause clots specially if u fall pregannt on them. it might be a small infection but dont be alarmed all they do is remove it and you take 10 days of anitbiotics. just see ur dr and they will advice a ultrasound and go from there. dotnt stress :)
