*NOT A QUESTION FOR GUYS!*
Guys, beware!
Ladies, a question involving that particular once-a-month period... how heavy can a period get before it becomes a concern? My current period is extremely heavy, with clumpy bits of tissue. I can't even move without gushing like a stuck pig.
I've never had one quite like this, but then again, I've been losing weight, so could that affect it? What should I do?

it's definitely normal! it probably will be pretty heavy for a while before returning to a regular amount. as for the tissue, that's just pieces of your endometrium shedding because there wasn't a fertalized egg embedded in it. don't worry!
i'm pretty sure losing weight has nothing to do with a heavy period. it's most likely just a stage.

Please don't go running to a doctor. If you went to a doctor they would probably tell you that it's nothing to worry about and that you need to calm down and go home. It would be kind of embarrassing. If you are really worried about it and want a professional opinion, call and ask about it. Don't go in or schedule an appointment. That's completely unnecessary. It's normal to get a heavy period every once in awhile. Some people have them every time. If you've been losing weight that could definitely affect it, as could a number of other things like diet, exercise, and stress level. As long as you're not getting dizzy or having unbearable cramps and it doesn't last more than a week, there's NOTHING to worry about. Just mention it to your doctor the next time you go in for a routine checkup. There's no reason to jump the gun on something like this. :)

I think the best thing for you to do is make an appointment with your GP or Gynaecologist and have a chat with them about it. It is possible to get heavier periods as you get older and if it is starting to concern you then that is the time to get it sorted out.
