Answers:
Ya, you assumed right, a period that heavy is not normal. I would talk to your mom and have her call your pediatrician or family doctor for a referal to an adolescent gynecologist. Children's hospitals have entire pediatric and adolescent gyneological staffs. The doctor will probably put you on a form of the pill to regulate your periods, reduce the pain, and the amount of blood. Good Luck!!!
