I need help identifying something.

I was put on Loestrin 24 by my gyno for PCOS. I never cramp when I'm on my period (when I'm not on the pill). Today was the first day I started my period on the pill and I was cramping like I've never cramped before. I couldn't move and the pain as unbearable. It felt like diarrhea and cramps at the same time only when I would try to use to bathroom nothing would come out. After pushing so much, something came out of my vagina. It looked like a clot at first, but it was huge. I fished it out of the toilet with an instrument and put it into the bathtub. I washed the blood off of it to see what it was but everything I've researched comes up empty. Could you please help me identify it? I put my finger next to it to show its size. The picture was taken while it was still under water.

I took a pregnancy test last week due to nauseau and fatigue but it came out negative. At first, I thought it was a miscarriage because I read that sometimes pregnancy tests can fail if you have PCOS, but when I looked at pictures of miscarried babies, they looked nothing like that.

Oh and I was thinking about saving it and taking it to the doctor but how would I preserve it until I'm able to get an appt?

Boil some water and let it cool off and then keep it in the jar with the sterile water. That's what I'd do.

Hmmm, well, if you still have the clot-like specimen, I'd put it in a jar with water and take it to the Dr. I know that sounds really weird, but it's your best bet for finding out what it is.

Just for the record, the bit about pregnancy tests being less accurate for PCOSers isn't right. It's ovulation testing strips that we get funky results for because our luteinizing hormone levels can be out of whack.
