Sorry, I'm not sure what you are asking.

Do you have a problem with clots not forming when they should e.g. when you cut yourself. Or do you have a problem with clots forming too readily?

As far as I'm aware vitamin K2 doesn't affect clotting in any way.

If you have too little vitamin K1 you will bleed too much and clots will be slow to form. You would probably end up getting massive bruises from tiny bumps.

Having low levels of vitamin C makes arteries and veins weaker. If you've ever developed nose bleeds or bleeding gums or any other kind of bleeding then vitamin C should help any damaged or weak arteries to heal.

Having just re-read your post, I've just realised... Are you passing lots of clots during a period?

Are you talking about periods and heavy blood loss?

Heavy periods are classic sign of being hypothyroid

Are you diagnosed as hypothyroid and taking Levothyroxine?

First thing is, do you have any actual blood test results? if not will need to get hold of copies. You are legally entitled to printed copies of your blood test results and ranges

UK GP practices are supposed to offer online access for blood test results. Ring and ask if this is available and apply to do so if possible, if it is you may need "enhanced access" to see blood results.

In reality many GP surgeries do not have blood test results online yet

Alternatively ring receptionist and request printed copies of results. Allow couple of days and then go and pick up. They can no longer charge for printing out, ( EU rules changed after May 25th 2018)

How much Levothyroxine are you taking

Can you add most recent results and ranges for TSH, FT3 and FT4, plus have you also had TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested

Also very helpful if had vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested. If any of these are too low thyroid hormones can not work properly. Add results and ranges if you have them

Heavy periods can cause Anaemia and low ferritin.

Producing menstrual clots could mean you are in perimenopause. I believe they are caused by an imbalance of hormones. Mine were never a cause for concern even tho I entered perimenopause early (was only in my 40’s).

Not what you're looking for?
