A member asked:

Are blood clots normal to have in your period blood?

Dr. Bryan Treacy answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Maybe: Formation of blood clots may indicate a much heavier flow. Blood also pools in the vagina while asleep and upon arising may discharge as blood clots. If persistent, an evaluation may be indicated as changes in menstrual flow past age 35 may signify more serious problems.
