some teens get very heavy periods, some get very light periods. If you have only had them a while they may settle down, but if they are preventing you living a normal life during them this is not normal, so see your doctor, there are medications you can take to reduce the flow.

AnswerEvery girl's body is different. If you are bleeding heavily for more than 4 days out of your 7 day cycle, then you should see a doctor to determine if there is something wrong. Heavy bleeding is changing a full pad every hour.

Also, if you are extremely weak and lethargic during your period, then you may have a problem with too much blood loss and should definitely see a doctor.

If you energy level is just fine and you are not abnormally weak, then it isn't a cause for concern.

Also, don't take medication if you can possible avoid it. Medication which slows the blood flow or shortens periods are messing with your hormones. Hormones are a scary thing to mess with, read the fine print on the label where it mentions side effects, cancer is always on the list. Be very careful.

Simply put it's due to hormonal imbalance, as your hormones regulate your flow can lighten which is why they get lighter as you get older. You can help regulate hormones by staying healthy with a good balanced diet, daily multi-vitamins, and a herbal treatment like chaste tree too. During menstruation try a menstrual cup which is more practical than tampons or pads, also take Tranexamic Acid or ibuprofen to lighten your flow.

I have had 5 pregnancies and with 3 of them I had bleeding, one of them I had 3 regular periods in the first 20 weeks with spotting. so its very possible to be pregnant and still have your periods. the only way to find out if youre pregnant is to be tested, either a home pregnancy test or a blood test (which would be the most reliable) Goodluck
