Sorry in advance for the graphic pics :( this is one of the many ‘clots’ that keeps coming out since the major purge this afternoon.

I am going to dr tomorrow to check but I am really disturbed after having an unusual experience and want to know if anyone has had a similar experience

Day 1 of my period today

Was sitting down with my regular menstrual cup in and felt a leak. I got up and immediately a lot of leak came through my pants.

I always have a heavy period but this is different? Thick, with far more clots and what seems to be like more structured form and firmer…

80% of my cup was filled with chunky period, not just the blood with some clotting like usual.

It’s bright / dark red, thick and heavy in weight compared to usual.

I took the cup out in the shower and the ‘clots’ or lining weren’t really breaking up under the water.

I’m 31, not on hormonal contraception. Usually regular cycles, and while heavy - this is different to a regular day 1.

This has come 1.5 weeks late to my regular cycle, which happens every now and then.

Any explanations or similar experiences?

Thanks 😣
