Hi,
In the present scenario, you would need immediate medical attention to contain the excessive bleeding. The causes could vary; it may be an infection, another unnoticed chemical pregnancy, hormonal imbalance and so on. You would need styptics and hormone supplementation if appropriate to arrest the bleeding. Please discuss with your doctor on further management. You may also need blood counts. Once the cause is understood, treatment should be easy. Wish you good health.
