Regarding clots--my doctor said a clot you can't break apart (ICK ALERT) between your fingers or fingers protected by toilet paper are a danger sign. And as a woman in her 40s I can tell you that they get more frequent w/ each period which can be really gross Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100658157604879121.post-87664375183923921302009-04-29T17:24:00.000-04:002009-04-29T17:24:00.000-04:00Regarding the large clots: When I had my emergenc...Regarding the large clots: When I had my emergency C-section, I was in bed for a day or so before the nurses started making me get up, and we noticed something slightly larger than what you're describing (ick alert: it fell out and went splat (I was still mostly naked).

Perhaps this has not so much to do with the removal, but the fact that while you were enjoying the lack of a period, your uterus was still producing the lining, just not shedding it? This past year, I began experiencing disclaimer-worthy monthly events (including leaving a CSI type puddle on a park bench in Disneyworld!) and have subsequently had an endometrial ablation.

There are a lot of people who are not as... let's say brave... as you are and willing to call around to doctors and pharmaceutical companies. I'm sorry you have had to go through this ordeal thus far and hope that you're on the mend for good.<br /><br />Maybe you just need a good dum-dum.
