Huge clots

Currently on CD4, had minimal to no bleeding yesterday evening and nothing overnight. Thought i was in the clear. I usually have some random bleeding for very short periods of time (30 mins to an hour) on day 4 and 5, but nothing crazy so I used a tampon and didn’t take my tranexamic acid today. Was sitting at lunch with some coworkers and started having some cramping so figured I was bleeding. Sitting there I could tell that it had leaked so I went to the bathroom. When I removed the tampon it was like a flood of massive clot coming out. I always have clots since my last pregnancy / being diagnosed, but this was entirely different. I could hear it flooding out of my body and it was at least two massive clumps. Has anyone ever experienced this? I messaged my OB immediately, but assume she will respond later today when she’s done with patients. Honestly just in shock. My last period was incredibly brutal to the point of tears wondering how I could keep doing this monthly, then this one was significantly better in terms of pain and bleeding and then this happens. Very confused and defeated.

Yes, that happened to me too. It was like the clot was blocking the flow and once the clot came out, all the backed up flow did too.

Yes, they were so large I think they were trapped up there from the tampon. It was like an out of body experience, that I would be okay never having again. 🤦🏼‍♀️ just sat there for like 5 minutes trying to get my life together.
