Dear Dr. Flex,
I am a 36-year-old woman who has recently started to experience *lo** clots during my periods. On my last period I had 24 hours where the *lo** clots were so large that they completely bypassed my tampons. My partner and I are trying for our first baby and I am now concerned that all is not well or that my body is changing and my chance of conceiving has passed. If anyone else has experienced this or can put my mind at rest I would love to hear from you, as I know that worrying wont help me to conceive either. I am afraid to go to my doctor in case I get the answer that I really dont want to hear.

Dear S.L.,
There are other women who are experiencing the same problem as you. Any change in your cycle is a cause for concern and should be checked out by a doctor.You are responsible for your own health, dont delay going to a doctor.If something is wrong, you want to find out sooner rather than later.
