Is there any way to stop the blood clotgs during your period? i have a heavy flow and the blood cloths are the size of a one cent to a five cent coin

Possible: The birth control pill is very effective at decreasing the amount of blood loss with the period. Less blood usually equates to less cramps and less pain.

Common, normal: Blood passing from uterus during menstrual flow often collects in the vaginal vault and "clot-up" to various sizes depending the amount of blood and duration. Also, the longer the blood stays there, the darker it will get. If you feel unease about the clots, use of tampon may reduce this--blood is absorbed into tampon and thus u won't see large clots. This is quite common--not abnormal. Good luck.
