Hi,
I am not a doc, but you might want to give your doc's answering service
a call. Let them know what is going on and see what they have to say.
Make sure you are drinking lots of water because heavy bleeding can
cause dehydration. Also ask you doc if you should be on an iron
supplement.
Best wishes,
D.N.
