You : You definitely need to see your gynecologist soon. Yes, heavy periods can lead to anemia from blood loss. Clots that size are normal. Please get evaluated soon.

Agree with Dr. F: While waiting for an appointment with your gynecologist, start taking oral iron and multivitamins to keep the deficiency from getting worse. Your doctor can prescribe birth control pills that can limit your period to once a year. Wish you good health.
