Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Yes, this could be your normal period.
Do not worry.
After the bleeding stops, please consult your gynec, and have an internal exam and ultrasound scan.
There could be some parts left out, that might cause heavy bleeding.
have you received the biopsy report ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
