Brief Answer:
Urine pregnancy test advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HealthCare Magic Forum.

Thanks for writing in to us with your health query. I have gone through your query and understand your concern completely.

I will advise you to do a urine pregnancy test. Sometimes this can be a sign of pregnancy in case you have done an unprotected sexual intercourse.

Please get back with the results of the test.

Regards

Wait for another week

Detailed Answer:
Wait for another week for bleeding to stop and in case it doesn't then get an ultrasound done.
Also I would like to know if in case you took any emergency contraceptive pills in this period.

Brief Answer:
Oral pills advised

Detailed Answer:
Don't panic as it is commonly seen in normal menstruating women also.
In my opinion you need oral hormone pills (the Ines used for contraception)
They will regulate the hormone levels and also regulate periods and bleeding.
These are prescription drugs and general examination is needed prior to start of these so visit a gynaecologist for prescription
