English question: I worry my bleeding is too heavy. When is it too much?
Everyone's flow is a little different, and it can vary from day to day within one period. Heavier days at the start are common. What matters most is what's normal for you, which is why tracking helps.
There are some clear signs worth paying attention to. It's worth having a doctor look if you're soaking through a pad or tampon every one to two hours, if you need to use two products at once, if you pass clots larger than about the size of a small coin, if bleeding reaches your clothes or bedding, or if your period lasts longer than 7 days. Very heavy bleeding over time can also leave you tired, dizzy, or short of breath, because it can lower your iron. That tiredness is a reason to get checked, not something to push through.
