What are they? Should I be concerned? Should I waer tampons? Please give me as mu >ch informationas you can! excessive bleeding during period may be caused by several causes,at your age it is most probably due to anovulation with continuous unopposed estrogen secretion,with ovulation usually progesterone is secreted in the last 14 days of period and opposes the effect of estrogen on the linning of the uterus(womb) so you might need to use progesterone in the second half of pregnancy.Another cause which should be considered at your age is bleeding disordered so you might need to check bleeding, clotting time and platelet count with thrombine test and others if necessary.
