I had a really heavy period this morning (soaked a reg. pad in 45 mins) Then I went home and put in a tampon. I removed it 2 hours later because it was leaking, and for the past 3 hours, my period has been really light. Am I backed up or something? Can tampons slow your flow?

nope they dont slow it down!! it was just a time when your period went from heavy to lite!! it happens 2 me all the time even if im wearing pads!!! tampons just absorb more and its lite for now but it will probably become heaviy in a few hours or tomorrow!

That's normal. Flow can alternate during your period. Tampons don't slow blood flow, they just soak up the blood.

no, your flow changes all the time. this is normal. if you took tylonol or some other pain reliever, it may cause more bleeding, so that could be why it was so heavy.
