Hi. Bleeding this much is not normal. You will lose a lot of hemoglobin because of it. There are a lot of conditions which causes this problem like thyroid disorder, anovulation, bleeding disorder, uterine problems. Better consult a gynecologist as soon as possible. Do basic blood teat and a scan where we will get an idea. I would highly recommend you to get treated soon.
