Hi Viennaman! I'm not on the boards a lot (but will be now that I'm officially out of remission) so I'm not too familiar with what else is going on. I too have had clots of blood on and off thru the years. In my experience, it didn't seem to be a sign of anything in particular. I've had clots and then found out my CD hadn't changed. Other times, I found that I had CD developing in other areas. Sometimes I've had it show that I'm anemic after the blood work. Other times, it didn't make a difference. All I can think of is that some days are worse than others. This seems to be a bad time for you right now. I have tried to figure if added stress had anything to do with mine - but I can't tell. CD brings enough stress as it is!
Are you haven't any new, additional troubles? More pain? More trips to the bathroom? Do you have skin tags or hemorrhoids? I horrible skin tags that bleed occasionally - even when I don't strain, sometimes it just happens. So I wonder if that could be it? There is also the issue of developing internal hemorrhoids.
I know, not a fun topic - just glad there's a place where we can talk about this stuff! I still have trouble discussing all of this with my husband (though we've only been married 2 months).
Hang in there and even though it's not easy to stay calm when you see blood and clots, just know that it doesn't have to mean anything horrible is going on.
