Period annoyance... or problem?
Okay, so I've had my period for almost 2 years but I've only had it maybe a handful of times. I understand that that's completely normal. My question is - I started my period Wednesday and it's been REALLY heavy. Like heavier than it has ever been before. So heavy that I change my pad 3-4 times just during school. Usually I put one on in the morning and I can make it until lunch and then until I get home. But lately it's been taking me 6-7 just to get through an entire day. When I use the bathroom the entire toilet bowl water turns completely red and this is also the first time that I can tell when I'm bleeding.
So I was just wondering, has anyone ever had such a heavy period, is it normal to get it this heavy, could it be because I've gone so long without it (I haven't had my period since late July) or do you think there's something wrong about it being this heavy? Today is my 3rd day into it and it's still this heavy. Normally my period lasts about 5-7 days, but by the 3rd, it gets much lighter and by the 5 and on (if it goes longer) it's so light where one pad will last throughout an entire day and I only change when I go to bed and wake up. I'm so used to having a light period (or at least it only being this heavy the first day that I feel as if something is wrong. So any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It is normal to have a heavy period. If it's bothering you that much though you could go see a gynocologist. If she thinks it's necessary, she could put you on the birth control pill. This regulates your periods. I don't really think it matters about age because I'm 14 and I have to go on it because my period lasts a wicked long time. If you don't want to go to the gyno, i would recommend overnight pads or really large ones. Also, if you wear tampons, wear a pad at the same time. Hope I helpedd!

I started my period when I was 9 years old and for the first year or so I didn't get it every month and when I did it was only for a few days and very light. Eventually I began haveing it every month like I was supposed to but only for 3-4 days and sometimes it would get very heavy. I started using tampons and at times it would get so heavy I would bleed through tampons and have to wear tampons AND pads. But it isn't normal to only have your period every few months. And if you have ever had sex, I would reccomend you get a pregnancy test just to be sure. And if you have never had sex I would highly reccomend seeing a doctor as soon as possible. Good luck, and I hope all is well.

i think it is very normal to get a heavy flow after not having your period for 4 months. The thing that is not normal is that the time in between your period was 4 months. My friend gets her period every couple months so she went to the doctor, and she told her that she might not be able to have children.I strongly recommend you go see your doctor.
hope i helped
