I don't know about others but I had several blood clots that were the size of my entire hand. At one point as I was getting up out of the bathtub, I pushed my arms down on the sides of the tub for leverage and felt like I passed my liver! Talk about shocking! I thought to myself at one point "can one lose this much blood without dying?". The hospital I went to said "Just ride it out until the end. If you faint come back but otherwise you're fine". I have always been one to not want to bother people. I felt like I was annoying the staff at the hospital so I didn't ask the questions or get all the info I needed. Don't do the same! Ask a million questions, take as much time as you need, and don't let hospital staff brush you off. They are supposed to be here to help and educate us so don't be afraid to ask them to do their job. Anyone going through a miscarriage, unfortunately lots of women understand your pain. Reach out and talk to a group of women going through the same thing. Best of luck and don't give up. Lots of women who have one or more miscarriages can go on to have many healthy babies.

It means you had a miscarriage.
It could signify a hormone imbalance, if you are in pre or perimenopause. It's quite normal as your hormones shift to have irregular periods and periods that last a long time with heavy bleeding/clotting. If you go through more than one pad in an hour's time, or if you have clots the size of a baseball or larger, you should contact your OB/GYN.
