Answer 1

Please go to a OB/GYN, that seems a bit excessive. Last time I went longer then 7 days I had to get a D&C

Answer 2

With the information that you have given this is pretty much impossible to answer. However a few things to look at. How old are you? If your period is only just starting to get established then you can get odd periods that will be short or long until your cycle settles down. This is nothing to worry about unless you start feeling tired, exhausted and run down. If this is happening then you may be starting to become aneamic due to the loss of iron. Try taking an iron supplement. If this increases your flow then you may need to go and see a doctor. They will probably put you on the pill to regulate your hormones.
The cramps can be delt with by using over the counter drugs for menstrual pain, also by using heat packs and sitting with your legs held up. Lying down flat will usually aggravate the pain. If you want to use alternative therapies then I have found the best one for relieving menstrual discomfort is Chasteberry also known as Vitex agnus castus. Cramp bark can also be very helpful.
If you are going through menopause then the same sort of heavy period can also be quite normal and similar measures can be taken to help relieve the pain and the flow.
Other possibilities include having been pregnant and loosing a baby in the very early stages of pregnancy. If you suspect this and you think you were more than about 10 weeks pregnant you should go and get checked out incase you need to have a curette.
Or you could have fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome or endometriosis. All of these and a few other less common health problems can cause the symtoms that you are commenting on. You would need to write a question with a lot more detail for someone to be able to give you much information on if these are possible in your circumstances and if so what you may be able to do. If you do suspect that you have something like this then the best thing you can do is go to a doctor and talk to them and then descide what you want to do.

If you are young (teens or early twenties) you may have to take birth control pills for a couple years to regulate your cycle. If you are in your 30's - 40's you may have endometriosis which is thickening of the lining of the uterus. Either way you need to see a gynecologist.
