Heavy Period: Is this much different from usual? If not then you can wait till tomorrow and see how it is doing. Also, how do you feel otherwise? If you feel normal then it is ok to wait. You didn't mention f you are on any meds - I am assuming that you are not and that you feel fine and no medical problems and not pregnant.
