writes:Ok well I was 2 weeks late [well if it was 34 day cycle like my last period] but I had brown spotting yesterday and this morning so I put a pad on to see if my period came. I'm 17 and I thought I might of been pregnant because of my missed period but I wanted to wait another week or so to test because we where using condoms but forgot a couple of times.Well it did come [my period], it was very dark brown/black and I just went to have a shower and it was very red and pink. Whilst in the shower I noticed on my leg [yes disgusting!] was like a piece of skin which was dark red at the bottom [with blood] and it was quite a large piece of skin and it had little bumps on it, to be honest it looked like a piece of meat you get on chicken on the end bits. I've had really bad period pains all days and do any of you have any idea of what it is because I'm really scared because it isn't small it's quite big and I'm worrying incase something is wrong with me.I'm sorry if my explination seems stupid but I'm actually really scared because I haven't a clue what it is. Please help and thank you for any replies.

I had just started using the Evra birth control patch and I suppose I timed it badly (used my first patch 1 week before my next period so didn't have a period for 6 weeks in a row), it's my patch free week and my period has just started - then today I had very bad cramp and the "chicken skin" fell out! I sometimes have clotting during my period but this is nothing like it - I swear it's just like chicken skin with the bumps and all! When it fell off it curled just like a piece of chicken skin would! It also has the dark red at the bottom exactly like yours. I'm not sure if I should panic, I did collect it in a plastic bag but not sure what to do with it so now in the bin. I hope someone knows what this is all about??!!

It happened to me about 3 years ago, and I went to the Doctor, he said it may have ben a miscarriage, he was not sure, as he did not have a sample of it to be tested. It happened again today, and I get really bad period pain associated with it. This time I have collected it (I know! disgusting! And yes it is like chicken skin, with blood on parts of it, and just skin looking on other parts!) and tomorrow I have an appointment at the Doctor, and once and for all I am going to find out what it is. I am worried it could be endometreosis, or again an apparent miscarriage. Will keep you updated!

I was also diagnosed with HPV about 2 years ago,
I was a couple days late on my period, I just started taking this new birth controll for controlling my periods every 3 months ( bad idea ) when i finally started my period, it was brown and not so much blood as brown, then a large piece of skin fell out with some blood about 2 days in. It looked like chicken skin, with clumps of red on it and bumpy. I thought it was a miscarrage, it could have been. But i continued to take the pills and i am still experincing brown discharge with clumps of blood almost 2 weeks after. I have no idea what is wrong with me.it seems there have been several woman with the same problem as me but i want to see a docter really bad.

reader, anonymous, writes (13 September 2007): dont worry about it - i know exactly what you are describing because it happens to me almost every month. its the lining from your uterus. there is a lot of blood lost during a period and its not all from that one tiny little egg - all of the lining and tissue comes away too and thats what you have seen. its pretty shocking the first time you actually see it but its nothing to worry about it and doesnt mean you have had a miscarriage - if that was the case i've been having a miscarriage every month for 10 years! its just because you had an exceptionally heavy period for you and there may have been a little more tissue than usual. dont worry about it, theres nothing wrong with you but if you want to be extra extra sure there is no harm in seeing your GP or calling NHS24 they will put your mind at rest.xxx

reader, anonymous, writes (13 September 2007): It was probably just a small clump of blood. Some women experience clumps like that during their period, especially at the beginning. Seems like I read somewhere that when the unfertilized egg drops into the uterus, if it is not joined with sperm, it is shed through your period, along with the membrane lining of your uterus. Most of the time it's just flushed out in your blood, but when there's clumpy, clotting going on, it may seem more apparent than at the times when your flow is more liquidy. You could always contact your healthcare provider and ask about it if you're still concerned or if you're experiencing any other weird symptoms.

It looked like a piece of liver (sorry to be so blunt) and I think it is your uterine lining that comes out. It is thick because of a pregnancy that it maintained. I was also very crampy. Go and see your GP to make sure you are OK.
