Hi there. I'm 37 yrs old. and I started my period on 3/22/007 went to work on Friday and on my way to drop off money to my husband so he could have lunch and I started cramping so bad it went from my back to the front down my legs. I got back home and went to the bathroom and I pushed like I was pushing out a baby, I heard a plop. I cleaned up I got a spoon and pulled the clot out of the toilet. I just stared at it in dismay o.O I have never had a clot that big. almost the size of a golf ball. I felt fine. but then my period got really light and here it is 3/25/007 and no period. am I starting the change of life or is there something that could be wrong with me? my periods are like clock work every 20 days lasting 7 days 1 day for spotting. any info that I can get is so greatly appreciated. this has never happend to me before.not clots that big. just the little one here and there. thanks in advance.

If you have any worries go to the doctor.
Is there any way you could've had a miscarriage?

My last period was about the same, but I was 2 days in. The past several months I had noticed my lower back would "give out" right before my period would start. I would have extreme cramping and heavy bleeding the first few days, but tapered off about the 6th or 7th day...normal. My last period started out the same way, except on the 2nd day. I was working on my laptop and when I got up, it was like I had "wet" myself. I immediately went to the restroom and my pants were soaked with blood. I took out my tampon and a I too, heard a "plop". It too was a very large clot. My period then became very light and the next day, was gone. I didn't think much of it because my boyfriend has had a vicectomy and knew I couldn't be pregnant. (Although, I did tell him when it happened that if I didn't know I couldn't be pregnant, I might wonder if I'd just had a miscarriage)
A few weeks went by and my back ache continued, extreme breast tenderness continued, and I felt extremely bloated. Then I thought of the 10lbs I had gained in the last month and a half. I started "connecting the dots" and got a little concerned about what this could possibly mean. I made an appt. with my family doctor to express concern on this. She did a basic "pelvic" since I had just done my pap test and "full" physical a few months ago. She told me she didn't feel anything lumpy or bumpy and to wait a few months and see how my periods go. She said there was no call for an ultra-sound although I expressed concern of my having a family history of ovarian cancer. I have recently stopped taking my anti-depressant (Effexor) and stopped smoking a few months ago...weight gain is linked to Effexor as well as stopping smoking...but the rest is a little odd. I think I upset her when: A) I stopped taking the anti-depressant she prescribed "cold-turkey" and then B) mentioned I had been going to a Chiroprator for my lower back pain..(which did help a little at first..)... she just didn't seem very concerned about me... :x
I have made an appt. with a gynecologist for a second opinion. I will let you know what I find out...
mommyoftiels-did you ever any thing out?

efree, I think going to another gyno makes a lot of sense. I think that whoever this is who your first doctor is doesn't sound like she's very appropriately concerned or very professional. I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. Let me know how it goes okay?

I just had a blood clot a second ago when I went to the restroom and this is only my second period. I'm freaking out! What do I do?
