Blood clots, when they are small and only occasional, is common and normal on heavy flow volume days. If blood clots are big (larger than quarter) and occur frequently then there might be any underlying medical conditions such as fibriods, endometriosis, adenomyosis, perimenopasue, menopause, stress, weight gain and blood dyscrasias.
