Brief Answer:
Yes, it is perfectly normal...

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

Yes, it is normal to have heavy periods after 1 year of not having your periods. The bleeding might be with the same intensity for a few more days (perhaps up to 2 weeks as reported from my patients). Do not worry.

Try to get some iron and folic acid supplements and to eat foods high in iron and folic acid.

All the best!
