Answer
Hi Shannon,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor so I advise you to check with your personal physician. In my opinion, if anything is abnormal about your period and the fact that your stomachs been hurting for a few days, that concerns me. Also the clumps when you go to the bathroom don't sound normal to me. Please call your doctor and email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.

Thanks.
