Why is the blood clotting during my period?

We’re answering the common questions regarding clotting while menstruating for anyone who’s ever wondered or is curious.

During menstruation, it’s super common to see blood of almost all kinds: bright red, dark red, brown, and even different consistencies like water-like, thick, and thin clots. This wide variation is most present during your heaviest days (usually day 1-3).

IMPORTANT: You are normal and all the things stated are a normal part of your period!

When we see small clotting during our period, “anticoagulants” are also released, forming a balancing act that ensures the blood is thinned out enough. During the heaviest phase of your period, the anticoagulants can get lost by your flow, so they don’t have time to kick in and break down the clots before they are released from the body.
