Heavy period: There is some variation in periods. If this persists and you use >7 pads in 24 hours would seek attention in ER or urgent care . May be fibroid, polyp,medications like advil/ asa which are blood thinners, or variation which can happen due to stress. ww.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/menorrhagia/basics/treatment/con-20021959
