when i am due on my period i get terrible pains and when i get to the heaviest point in my period i tend to blood clot quite a bit. i dont know if this is normal but i would just like to know to put my mind at rest.

It could be a couple of things. My daughter at 18 had this and was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian disease. You should speak to your doctor about it.

When I turned 36, I started having the problems you describe (in fact, it was so bad I missed a couple of days of work each month). They were talking hysterectomy but then decided to give me a D&C (I had heavily built up uterine lining) and put me on Depo Provera shots to control it.

Good luck!

hi

when you say heavy clots? is that through the whole time you have your periods or just the first day?
i get that too, but only the first day and its the worst pain i jst take pain killers.

sounds bout right.. the joy of being female.
if you're concerened, you can always go to the doctor.. if you're diagnosed with a mentsral condition (which is rarely too serious) then you can get prescribed hormonal meds to help ease the discomfort or whatever.. go see a doctor if you're concerend but I think you've just about summed up the horrible feeling of menstration.
