period has huge brown clots........ whats going on? please help!?

I've always had a couple clots but this month its full of clots big ones to not tiny ones like normal. I'm not sure what's going on I've had a sharp stabbing pain earlier in month bt don't think its related since I think that has to do with intestinal problems! I just had a period (kinda) like 2weeks ago but it only lasted a couple days but I think thts because I forgot my birth control for a couple days and it threw me off. Please help me out. Thanks soo much!

    Your birth control explains that irregular bit.

    Clots are totally normal and are from when the uterus doesn't break the blood down small enough...nothing to worry about.

    And brown blood symbolizes old blood, from your last period.

    So the clots could just be clumps of kinda dried blood from last time. This seems quite normal, and your period may last a bit longer.

    I had this, but got back to normal a month later :)
