BAD Period after pill / AF after BC (possible TMI)

I've always had heavy periods before I started BC about 4 years ago. My first period after the pill was like any other "pill period" a day of spotting and that's it. No PMS, tiny cramps lol but that's it. I'm now on my second period. It's a whole different story. I had severe cramps 2 days before and continuing (I'm on my 3rd period day so far). Major cravings, mood swings, and PMS!

My main concern is the amount of blood. I've never had a period this heavy before. I have to use S+ tampons WITH a pad during the day and the lovely 5ft long pads at night (always had to use overnight pads). I'm bleeding through everything so fast. On the first day, before I realized how bad it was going to be, I went through 2 pairs of pants and 3 pairs of undies. I'm going to call my Dr in the morning, but has anyone else dealt with this? Is it normal? The amount is concerning. I wish there was a way to keep track of the volume lol mostly so men can feel bad 😂. My husband has been great though, he's the one who bough all of the pads, ON pads, tampons n midol for me. I was afraid to leave the house without the proper armor. 😁
