Why doesn’t period blood clot?

It makes sense to me why it shouldn’t clot but I don’t really get why it doesn’t while the rest of the body’s blood clots upon exiting

Period blood is mixed with the uterine lining, which contains anticoagulants to prevent clotting. These substances help facilitate the monthly shedding process. While small clots can sometimes occur, the presence of anticoagulants generally keeps the menstrual flow smooth.

It mostly doesn’t, for the reasons the other person said, however, human bodies rarely function perfectly and I suggest you don’t google “menstrual blood clot” while eating.
