So I'm getting very anxious...?!
Question: Ok, so I got my period on Mon Jan 28 (it was a little early, but it happens, no big deal). It is now Sat and I'm still getting a lot of blood, but it doesn't seem right. I never really used tampons until this past summer (for a number of reasons, part fear part stubbornness) but since then I use them regularly. But this current period i had to work at them a bit more than usual (I'm using some cheapo ones i bought to save money so they're not as comfortable to insert to begin with) but one time (tues or wed night i think) it didn't go in all the way (very uncomfortable!) now the last tampon i took out looked normal except for a dark spot in one corner like clotted blood or something. could i have torn something in there? cause now i'm losing a LOT of bright red blood when my period should be slowing down. I don't have a tampon in right now, will it maybe heal on it's own? It's pretty scary, I don't know what's going on. Please help!

If you are soaking your pads (1 ever hour)--then you should call a DR, speak to the nurse--they would tell you what to do next. Also, bleeding longer than 7 days, or are passing a lot of clots could signal a problem--then you should call your dr as well. Some clots can be normal, a lot or large clots might not be normal. And this whole situation might just be normal. I usually have a heavier day on my second day. Sometimes the 3rd, but that might depend on when I actually started my period. Some months worse than others. I think it's hormonal. If you are not soaking thru pads (1 an hour), then just see how the rest of today goes.
