How do you know when your period is too heavy? lately i've had to change my tampon more often than usual. about 1 and a half i last.

Then that is too hea: Heavy for you, no reason to suffer or put up with that please see a gyn for a proper evaluation and you will have different options to slow down or stop the flow , which after a workup you can get on meds to prevent a period if you want.
