OK WELL I WAS SUPPOSED TO START MY PERIOD YESTERDAY (TUESDAY) BUT INSTEAD I STARTED LAST THURSDAY. I HAVE BEEN VERY REGULAR FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS AND THAT IS WHY I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IT. WHEN I STARTED BLEEDING LAST WEEK IT WAS VERY VERY RED, ALMOST BLACK, AND IT HAS NOT SHOWN ANY SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN SINCE. I DONT REALLY WANT TO GO TO THE DOCTOR IF THERE IS A SIMPLE EXPLANATION FOR IT, BUT WILL IF NO ONE HAS ANY IDEAS. I KNOW THAT SPOTTING BEFORE YOUR PERIOD CAN MEAN PREGNANCY, BUT THIS IS NO WAY SPOTTING, THIS IS GUSHING...THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!

Well if you don't normaly have a heavy flow I'd be worried to. for me a heavy flow is 4 our of seven days of my period but for some it isn't. Think about whats going on in your life though. Any Major stress a decline or up in physical activity or a sexual relationship that you could be miscarrying from there are alot of not so bad and then the really bad. I'd go to doc
