My period has been VERY strange this week. After starting last Saturday, it seemed to be running a normal course and tapering off to nothing this past Thursday evening. Then I started having this weird pain in my abdomen that lasted about a day. Then late Friday night, my period started back again, much, much heavier than I've ever seen it. It was very heavy with lots of clotting. My periods are usually only about 5-6 days. It's lasted almost 10 days now, slacking up some days, but now its rather heavy again. I'm 22, and my periods are generally the same every month. I know it could be nothing, but any thoughts?
I'm not on birth control, but my partner and I always use condoms.

are you saying this is the first time you've had this happen to you during your period, or that it is happening again? you say "but now it's rather heavy again". so you mean this is the second heavy one?
yeah, the typical culprits, i'd say stress or hormones, and maybe diet. are you eating the same? dieting? loving that ice cream?
if this isn't the second one and is the first, that first one sounds like a miscarriage. condoms aren't 100%.

It could be stress or hormones. I would call a doctor, like your gynocologist to be sure. Try to take it easy for a few days to let your body work itself out.
