Period after iud removal

What was your period like? Iafter having my iud for 3 years I got my it removed last month and a week or so later I started bleeding for 3 days which I figured it was just from the removal and was light. So I’m not sure if that was my first period or not. This morning I started my period and it’s extremely heavy. Like I sit on the toilet and it flows out and smaller blood clots. Is this much bleeding normal? The dr who took it out literally just took it out, asked how I was feeling before I left and that’s it. No information about after.
