    Is this normal? *TMI*

    I have irregular cycles, the last two have been around 60 days. I usually have a light flow lasting for 3-5 days with lots of spotting before and after. I have just finished AF ( I think) I only had one day of spotting on Sunday, then my usual light flow until Thursday. I thought it was going, but it's been a little heavier than spotting the last two days.
    Now over the last couple of days I have noticed small clots in the toilet after I pee, even though I am only using liners because it's almost finished. On the other days I didn't notice any clots on a pad, it's only been the last few days I have noticed them.

    Is this normal? I've never noticed it before!

    I always get clots of some type, nothing too huge mind you just bits and pieces. And some looks almost stringy, so thats gross right? I think its normal as its lining someone correct me if I am wrong!

    Thanks Joeve! I always thought clots only came with a heavy flow. And since mine is always light I thought it was odd. At least I don't feel like a freak now

    I always get large clots. It is yuck. My FS says it is due to my adenomyosis but I have found it is made worse by fertility drugs.

    Thanks ladies, maybe I have always had them, but never looked. This AF was different to what I'm used to. I hope it's just my body trying to be normal!

    Tasha, my last 2 AFs have been weird ( longer and heavier) since my m/c, stringy clots when its light is pretty normal I think, I get it sometimes. I'm sure our bodies will settle down soon, ( or we will get bfps and not have to think about AF for 9 months)
