You start to think about symptoms and look back. I remember being on my period and weeing blood and it just dripping out a lot and heavy whilst I went for wee, I never thought anything of it but I guess it’s not normal? Having clumps and long bits of blood just coming out like that and the whole toilet bowel would be just dark red and it felt like a hush of blood at times.
It’s hard to ever know if your period was ‘Normal’ I never really classed myself as having heavy periods but when you look back maybe I did? I would leak and have clots and really dark blood but never honestly bat and eyelid but that’s because you compare your period to your own and no one else’s.
I can recall over the past year having more ovulation sticky fluid too and ‘feeling’ like I was ovulating.. never felt it before and could never pin point the time. But over the last year I knew when it was happening. Maybe it is all related to all of this. It would make sense.
