i started school back on tuesday, and my period started the friday before that. i normally have realllyyyy long periods, like 3-4 week long periods, but this one has been weird. the first 4 days i was just spotting, which i thought was odd because i usually start spotting and then a few hours later there’s blood. on tuesday, though, i wore a pad to school and when i got home it was still just spotting, i changed my pad and all hell broke loose. a few hours later i checked it and there was lots and lots of blood, yesterday and today were even heavier and i’m passing lots of very large clots. my mom works at a OB/GYN office and she and one of the nurses there were talking and the nurse said it was fine but i’m super uncomfortable and i feel like i need to be doing more than taking a tab of neproxin sodium and waiting it out like the nurse said, especially because this is not at all normal for me and im in lots of pain and discomfort. do you guys have any advice? am i just overthinking this? please help a sister out :/
