See doctor ASAP: Any unexplained vaginal bleeding should be professionally evaluated, and with this amount of blood you should immediately contact your doctor (preferably gynecologist); or visit an urgent care clinic if s/he isn't available. The underlying cause isn't necessarily serious, but the amount of blood loss might be if it continues. Good luck!

I thought I was pregnant, didn't get period for 4months. Now I have my period and there's a bunch of clotting, it's bright red blood, my cramps are extremely painful. I've bled thru three pairs of pants, I'm worried about what's going on.
