First period after D&C (TMI)

Meg • 🍍
This is horrible!!! I have never had a period like this before. Like, gushing. A super tampon every hour and a half. Cramps like I can't even describe. 
Is this normal? I've moved away from home and haven't found a new OBGYN yet to ask if this is normal. I have always had cramps and heavy flow, but for maybe one day out of a five day cycle. And now it's four days in to my period and it's just beyond a heavy flow and cramps...it's gushing and excruciating.
