Answers:
Not everyone gets visible clots!.
It depends on the person, body, duration and the heaviness of your period!.

I myself personally have good sized clots!. This is VERY normal and natural!. Everyone gets affected differently with SIMILAR symptoms!. I wouldn't worry about it!. If it because painful due to the clots, or they become big and the color isn't the normal color as what you have had in the past I would then go to the doctor, but right now its sounds like a normal period to me!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your friends are wrong and have no credibility to be scaring you like that!. Period blood is not just blood, it is also the shedding of the lining of your uterus!. When an egg drops into your uterus, the walls become padded so that if that egg is fertilized it can implant itself in the side of your uterus safely!. When the egg does not become fertilized, that padding leaves your body, so it is completely normal to have clots!.

Of course, if there are huge clots and your common sense tells you there is something wrong, or if you have other strange symptoms, it never hurts to see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi,

I'm not a medical professional but my advice to you is to get this checked out by your doctor!. I had clots and ended up with endometriosis plus adenomysis!. You might also have cysts but don't be alarmed; they call them "functional cysts" (that's what my doc called them, anyway) and those are fairly normal!. Not a good thing to have but not out of the ordinary either!.

Here's an article that will tell you a little more about endo and adeno!. http://www!.healthy-living-for-moms!.com/e!.!.!. !. If nothing else, going to a doc and getting checked out will put your mind at ease!.

Hope that helps,
