Hii ,

Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

from the medical history you provided & as u said u had heavy bleeding for 3 days there is no possibility for pregnancy

u did not provide information about when u had intercourse and what is the actual date of ur cycle

if you have missed ur normal period and u start experiencing this after 2 weeks of normal period date than this bleeding can also a result of ectopic pregnancy and in this case you must immediately contact ur Ob/Gyn dr

there are many other causes which may cause this including
-Polycystic ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
-Overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism
-Thickening of or polyps on the uterine lining
-Uterine fibroids

But seriously it needs thorough medical check up and investigations to spot a confirm diagnosis
i would strongly suggest you to see a Gynecologist to rule out any underlying medical condition

I hope it help
Thanks & Get well Soon
