Heavy flow

Hayley
Ever since I got my period 6 years ago, I have had pretty heavy irregular periods. Luckily I visited the gynecologist last month and he prescribed me birth control and told me to start it the first Sunday after/ during my next period (which still hasn't come by the way). Anyways i started using tampons about 2 years ago and I always leak through them every time. Everytime I get my period I always have to wear a pad and a tampon. Does this happen to any of you?
