 Hello,
Clots are normal in a period, especially during the heaviest days, but usually these are the size of a quarter or smaller. Larger clotting should be checked with your doctor to find the cause. You may have some coagulation disorder or fibroid tumor, an enlarged uterus or if menstrual fluid is blocked, larger clots may occur.
I'm sorry I can't give you a definitive answer here, but you do need to see your doctor. I would not consider it emergency; just schedule a visit.
Best wishes.
