Perimenopausal: Not unusual to have a heavy flow after missing several menses. Because the amount of tissue and blood is heavier than the usual the uterus has to contract more to squeeze out everything, more cramps and pain. Bleeding 8 days and using up to 8 pads or tampons a day is normal. You could be entering in the perimenopausal stage of your reproductive life.
