Just passed massive clots, I am taking iron although I don't think I can keep with loss.

Used 35 napkins Taking tranexamic acid for bleeding.

Says for four days only, I only took twice a day. Any advice, passed a clot size of two cherry tomatoes.

I used to used 59 napkins per cycle

Hi Bluelady-sing,

Clots can be quite worrying. They look so large and red! You didn't mention your age. May I ask if you are at the menopause stage? I've heard that clots are quite common during menopause. I had some huge clots, then they stopped almost as suddenly as they had started. Hang on in there, even though it seems as if it's never going to end.

I have massive clots when taking the tranemic acid, bigger than a cherry tomatoes. I have heavy periods and take iron tablets. I would *not*worry too much about the size of the clot, that’s what the tranemic acid does makes the blood clot up.

Is this bad or dangerous

I meant would not worry.

No it’s not bad or dangerous, since your the iron tablets seems like the underlying issues are being investigated
