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 think she's referring to my reference of not finding it until a month later, more than forgetting it at all--and she did say she was talking about the people she knew personally.

I will say that for so many of us who are so self-aware (and especially for those of us who always have been, and who were raised to be very body-positive) it is hard to conceive of and understand some of the situations that come up from being so unaware of one's own body. Even body-negative self-consciousness makes so many people nervous and hyper-aware of what's going on down there.

But I do see where you're coming from, as far as how that statement could hurt someone's feelings.
