heaviest flow of my literal life

Emily

okay so i’m on day 3 of my period. yesterday is usually my heaviest day (and trust me it was heavy) but i wake up today and it’s like a tiny little mini flipping flood and i get up to go to the bathroom and it’s GOING DOWN MY LEG in my entire 18 years of life, this has never, EVER happened to me. it could just be me but i went through TWO 9 hour pads yesterday in the span of like 6 and i still leaked all over the place. this is the first time i can truly and 100% say and use the crime scene option on <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">eve</a>.

would birth control help this? or should i look into something else because this is kind of ridiculous
