See you doctor: Many possible causes, but your cycles should come from 21-45 days counting from the beginning of one period to the beginning of the next. They should last 7 or fewer days, and generally shouldn't have clots. Write down the dates of your periods, and if they're outside of these parameters, see you doctor to find out the cause.
