is this normal? warning: gruesome details
it was 2:10 on february 3rd that i noticed i was getting cramps in my legs and slightly in my stomach. this usually means i was getting my period, so i went to the bathroom and, sure enough, there was a little bit of blood in my underwear. the flow was pretty average. then when i came home, i was going to change into a regular sanitary napkin when i noticed the blood had stopped. all that came out was brown discharge (which i knew was dried blood mixed with usual vaginal discharge) this went on for about 5 hours until i started bleeding again. this time, the flow was EXTREMELY heavy. i've used 3 pads between midnight last night and 3:00 this afternoon. now, the blood is still flowing but its still so heavy. i usually don't have flows this heavy. and what was up with it stopping for 4-5 hours? that never happens, either.

Our periods can be a tricky, ever-changing thing. Although I am not a doctor, I do not think you have anytime to be alarmed about. It often takes several years for our periods to regulate. And even then, different factors may affect our flow. For instances, stress, foods we eat, exercise, medications, etc. can all impact our flow. In addition, it is possible for flows to appear to "stop". For some, this is during the course of the day while for others it may be during their sleep. As long as your period lasts around the same amount of days, I don't think you need to be alarmed. However, if it would make you feel comfortable, consult your doctor. :)

That happens to me sometimes but not every time it's actually quite normal .

I have had periods like this in the past. Now my periods were irregular, I dont get them now (due to birth control) but when I did they were, I am sure you are fine if you are really worried contact your doctor, but periods can always be a little different.
