1731462 tn?1314241507 P I now take a baby aspirin every day to help guard against future clots. I also try to eat lots of garlic and cayenne pepper to naturally keep blood thin. Sitting where I am now, I think I would feel comfortable with a negative d dimer.
Avatar f tn Abnormal periods are cause enough to go to a gynecologist. There are several causes to this, like hormonal imbalances and things like polycystic ovary syndrome. The blood clots are probably not something that would cause too much concern, but I'd bring it up with your doctor either way. That said, be aware that in your period, you're not only shedding blood, but also the endometrium, which isn't so much the lining of your ovaries as it is the lining of your uterus.
Avatar f tn t stay in your system long after a miscarriage (if that was indeed what the blood clot was about, rather than odd bleeding because of the pill itself). The morning-after pill doesn't prevent a pregnancy that has already implanted, so if you took it only after noticing your period for the month was late, if this was a pregnancy loss it would not have been caused by the pill.
Avatar f tn Hi, this is a bit embarrassing for me. I've always had pretty normal periods but the last few I've passed clots up to the size of a babies fist. Is this normal to just start happening? It's freaking me out a bit.
Avatar n tn t know really about blood clots... only that there is medication out there that is suppose to get rid of them. I have a question though... how did they find out she had a blood clot in her head? I have been dealing with the same type of pain....
1069666 tn?1255243515 When I was 13 I started out with a normal period but the next couple of years I started not having any that lasted till I was about 16, then it started with huge blood clots. Over the next couple of years I went to the doctors and they seem not to be able to help.
Avatar n tn First can you tell how old a clot is? Thern how long does it take to disolve a clot in the right chamber of a enlarged heat 4 times normal size? The heart also has only a 10% explusion rate or something like that it should normally be 70% from what I was told.

Avatar f tn hello, My name is Jen and, up until a few months ago, was a perfectly health 24 year old college student and mother of three. On July 2nd i had a colonoscopy, July 3rd (spent 8 hrs in the ER) diagnosed with a DVT in the upper extremity stemming from my IV injection site. Now, over a month later the Dr.'s cannot seem to regulate my prescription of warfrin (blood thinners) and yet they feel it not necessary to do a coagulation profile....What is wrong with me?
1395422 tn?1308016251 Hello, Tenderness, pain, swelling, cramps, warmth, discoloration, redness and inflammation are some symptoms of having a blood clot in the calf. More serious symptoms include infection or death of leg muscle tissue, pulmonary embolism, heart attack and even stroke which are caused by movement of blood clot from calf to elsewhere in the body. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn Well i called today to get more answers as to what was causing the bleeding, and apparently i have blood clots forming in the layers of the placenta where its suppose to attach to the uterus....but the clots should be dissolving on their own. Currently on light bed rest and no sex. Has anyone experienced this before its called Subchorionic hematoma...
Avatar n tn I am 19 and have very bad blood clots when I have my period, sometimes the size of quaters. they cause really bad cramps to the point where its hard to go to work or even walk. should I go to the Dr or is this normal???
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with PCOS about a year ago after passing a blood clot the size of a grape fruit since then randomly I will pass blood clots, but they are not quite that size. Tuesday I started my period and it has been heavier than normal. I am passing about 7-8 clots a day. but tonight in the last 30 minutes I have had about 10 clots pass. I can feel them falling out of my body and they are about the size of 2 or 3 grapes. Should I be concerned?

Avatar f tn Hi.I'm 15 and I'm a virgin. I've been having regular periods through all these years but at the last week of this november i had my period and after a week I've been i having blood clots for almost a week.Should I concern?
Avatar f tn Good day, I have been passing large(and small) blood clots for the past several months. I went to my gyn and he found that I have polyps. Understanding that, I am still passing clots intermittently and it is detrimental to my sex life. Although my husband doesn't say anything, it's like playing russian roulette. You just never know when the clots will appear, could be before, during or after sex. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. Could this be related to endometriosis? How can this be resolved?
Avatar n tn The extraction site appears to still be a purplish color, so perhaps the blood clot just sunk a bit? I am not experiencing a great deal of pain right now, either, so I am not sure what to do. Am I ok? Do I need to go to the dentist to get this checked out? Please help. Thanks!!

Avatar m tn I am sorry to hear about your condition. With history of clots in the lung previously, it is possible that new ones have come up. It is also possible that there is an old clot which got dislodged and is causing symptoms. With headache, dizziness, blurring of vision etc there is a possibility that you have either a clot in brain or an aneurysm with bleed, or benign intracranial hypertension. I suggest you go to the ER for this so that you can get medical help. Take care!
