Why the heavier flow than normal?

This is my first period after having sex for the first time about a month ago (right after my last period). I usually have a really light flow that only lasts for 4 days or so but so far the first two days have been really heavy (which sucks haha!). I'm wondering if your flow gets heavier when you start having sex? Like your body is even more so preparing for a baby, hence the heavier flow? Just wondering what all you wonderful ladies have to say about it. :)
