The Parguard: Can make bleeding worse. It sounds like it is your first period so i assume you are not breast feeding. There is a medication called Lysteda that will decrease bleeding during menses. You could get on the pill for a month and see if that improves it or wait it out. It may not be as bad going foreward. Gd luc.
