Abnormally heavy period 4 months post termination

I had a termination in December and didn't get my period until 3 months after. Since then I've been bleeding every 2 weeks and it's VERY heavy. I've never had heavy periods, usually a light one that lasts a few days, but this is absolutely ridiculous and I'm going through 4 super heavy tampons in half a day. TMI : every time I take them out blood goes absolutely everywhere and it's making me feel so sick as I'm not good with my own blood, the sight of it makes me lightheaded.
I had a late term termination a few years ago and everything was fine after. I've spoke to my mum about it and she said the drs wouldn't do anything apart from prescribe tranexamic acid if necessary. I'm really struggling to cope. I got put on the pill at 11 years old because I've never dealt with my periods well. Last time I got put on the pill I bled for 5 months non-stop so I'm worried about going back on it again, I haven't taken anything for a good few years now in fear it would happen again. I haven't left the house in over a week Sad

Hi sorry your dealing with this but I think you should still contact your drs because losing blood is not always a good thing ... but I haven't had an experience with termination myself however my close friend has she didn't have any having bleeding this long but for the first period she did I think you should get checked just to make sure sometimes it could be fine but everyone's experience is different

Hopefully this goes away soon x
