Well, if your blood is clotting the way that it should be, then when you bleed, you will not continue bleeding forever like people who have hemophilia. For instance, if you get a paper cut, you shouldn't be bleeding for a very long time and should see redness in the area. That means that the blood is rushing to the site and the platelets are trying to clot your blood. Soon, you will start to see a scab. Those are all normal signs of clotting.
If you are concerned that you are not clotting at all or enough, you should talk to your doctor and he/she may recommend a blood test to see you platelet count. If it is too low, that may be why your blood isn't clotting.

How does heparin stop blood clot?
Heparin is used to thin the blood so that clots will not form. It does this by changing the body's clotting system.
