Is my period supposed to be like this?

Question

This is the second morning of my period. I have only had it once before, but not this heavy. Yesterday, I went through 8 tampons. And this morning at 11:30, I'm on my third one, and almost 4th! Its very heavy and i'm changing it every 30 minutes-every hour!! I wear a pantyliner in case it starts to leak for back-up. I have dance pictures today and I'm babysitting! Help help help!!

Answer 1

You shouldn't have to change your tampons every 30 minutes. Are you using the Super tampons? That are built for heavy periods? I would suggest telling this to your doctor and maybe they can start you on birth control to slow the bleeding

Answer 2

That is super heavy, but nothing unheard of. As the first person said, use the super tampons or super plus. If it's this heavy now it won't be bad tomorrow, sometimes it all seems to gush out in one day. Good luck!
