Blood clots, when they are small and only occasional, is common and normal on heavy flow volume days. If blood clots are big (larger than quarter) and occur frequently then there might be any underlying medical conditions such as fibriods, endometriosis, adenomyosis, perimenopasue, menopause, stress, weight gain and blood dyscrasias.

I'm currently pregnant and using an inhaler, but I'm a bit worried about its safety during this time. Could you recommend an inhaler that's considered completely safe for pregnancy?

During pregnancy, it's important to avoid unnecessary medications, but inhalers like **Salbutamol** (a short-acting bronchodilator) are generally considered safe for asthma management. Always consult your doctor before starting any medication to ensure it's the best option for you and your baby.
