Hi,
Initially, sometimes there may be prolonged periods. It will settle down slowly and will get back to your routine after sometime. If there is excessive bleeding, kindly consult your gynecologist. If you cant bare the cramps consult a nearby gynecologist for pain killers. There is no need to worry.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
