If you've been having periods for any amount of time, you've probably already had a run-in with a blood clot. If you don't know what I'm talking about, well, lucky you. Please allow me to draw you a word picture: Period blood clots are thick, jelly-like, bright or dark red blobs of chunky blood.. They can pop up on our pads or tampons, or otherwise be expelled during our heaviest flows, and it's hard to not get freaked out when you see one.
If your menstrual flow is of average volume it is probable that you may have some actual blood clots. These clots are usually quite small and typically dark red to almost black in color. The clots are small because there is only a moderate amount of blood lost that needs to clot. The clots are dark in color because the blood has been sitting in the uterus for awhile before it comes out in your menstrual flow. If you are having a heavy menstrual flow your blood clots will appear very different. First of all these clots will be bigger because there is a larger amount of blood sitting in the uterus that needs to clot. Secondly, these clots are usually a much brighter red.
