Why is my period so heavy this month with clots?

A sudden heavy period may be the result of normal hormonal fluctuations or a side effect of birth control. However, heavy periods can also indicate an underlying health condition. A person should talk to their doctor if they experience heavy bleeding or cramping that prevents them from completing normal activities

I'm having some trouble with my periods lately. They've gotten kind of irregular, and I used to bleed for about 5 days, but now it's down to just 2 days. I had an ultrasound done, and it came back normal. What could be causing this change?

I'm really worried and need some advice. I'm 20 years old and usually my period starts between the 20th and 25th of each month. This time, I had unprotected sex on the 20th of March and took an Unwanted 72 pill on the 21st, but my period still hasn't started, and it's already April 8th. I'm really stressed out about the possibility of being pregnant because I don't think I can handle a pregnancy right now, and I definitely can't tell my parents. Should I take a pregnancy test? And if it turns out I'm pregnant, what options would be available to me?
