GROSS
ok this question is graphic and i know some people say their question is graphic but let me tell ya, it's gross. im 16/f. i have my period and it's always been fairly regular, not too heavy, not really light but just in the middle. last night i had a tampon in and within half an hour it felt like it was full so i took it out and this clot came out that was the size of a baseball cut in half. no exaggeration!!! i've had small clots before and i know thats normal but what would cause one this big? it was really gross and i do not want that to happen again.

Don't sit down for long periods of time and go to the toilet frequently. There's nothing else you can do really. It probably happens to alot of people.
If it happens any more (say your next period and after), I suggest talking to a doctor:
"If the clots you are passing are larger than, say, a quarter, you might want to ask your doctor about it, because that indicates that your periods are quite heavy, and they might want to check for fibroids (benign tumors).
You don't really need to worry about the occasional large clot. What would cause concern would be if you passed constant frequent large clots so that your total blood loss was more than usual. "
