TMI 🛑 gross photo 🛑

okay so i am on my 3rd day of my period and it’s been way heavier than normal. my period is very regular and is about 6 days each cycle, usually i can do with either a tampon or a pad but the last two days i’ve had to wear both and it’s still been leaking into my underwear. anyways so since i’ve had a heavy period i had thought it would be the same ordeal today.. except this morning when i woke up my pad looked a little something like this,

it looks like old blood but it has a really dark brown spot, and there’s not a lot of it. i’m so confused can someone tell me what this is? is it because i’ve had a heavy period the last few days and my cycle is stopping early? and why is it heavy? and why has it only been 3 days if it is stopping? i’m sorry for the gross picture i just really need some feedback off of this.
