During menstruation, the thick lining of your uterus (womb) breaks away. As you menstruate, anticoagulants are released that break down thick menstrual blood before it leaves your body. During a heavy flow, blood is expelled faster and the anticoagulants may not have enough time to break down the blood and the result can be these clots. I would not be worried if otherwise, your period(s) has been normal. If you are concerned, check in with your doctor for your peace of mind.
