Period problems, talk to me.

However I have been having weird periods and wonder if anyone can share their own stories. 

My cycle is about 28 days and always regular (within a day or two) however when I get my period the consistency is thick like maple syrup. Also most of the blood/discharge comes out only when I push down. Unless it's really heavy, even then it's almost as if my body "holds it in" till I use the bathroom. I had a chemical YEARS ago and I noticed that ever since then (and I was not ttc at the time at all) my period has been thick and "sticky" now that I'm TTC (month 3) I am nervous that maybe it's related and somethings is wrong. 

Fingers crossed that later next week my Dr gives me the all clear.

Anyway  anyone else experience this or something like it?
