call your doctor. i had a suspected miscarriage, and it sounded just
like what you are describing. i didn't save any of the stuff i passed
though, and by the time i got a blood test, my levels were really low.
so they really don't know what it was.
if you are still passing the stuff, save it, take it to your doctor. it
might just be something weird like old blood clots, but you still need
to get it looked at.
