Is it normal if I have blood clot? It has been happening lately.

Okay, so like, sometimes you might see some blood clots during your period, and usually, it's totally normal. It's just a mix of blood and tissue that comes out when your flow is a little heavier.

Your body usually makes these cool things called anticoagulants to keep your period blood from clotting as it leaves your uterus. But if your flow is super heavy, sometimes your body can't make enough of those things fast enough, so you see tiny clots. They can be like really small, or sometimes even a bit bigger, and they can look dark red or brownish.

When to tell a grown-up

Most of the time, blood clots are nothing to worry about. But if you're seeing really big clots, like bigger than a quarter, or if you're soaking through a pad or tampon every hour for several hours, that's something to tell a trusted adult about. Also, if you're feeling super tired all the time or dizzy, that's another sign to talk to someone. It's always good for a grown-up to know what's going on, just to make sure everything's chill. They can help you figure out if you need to talk to a doctor.
