very odd periods for me, can anyone help?

Hello,
I am 27 yrs old and have alwyas had very, very heavy long lasting periods. They usually last about 8 days and about 6 of those days are very heavy flow. Then I had my daughter and I have just recently weaned her from breast feeding. She is 2 years old now so I have been a long time without my period. So it has kind of been back for 4 months now but it has been very strange for me and I am wondering if anyone here can tell me if it is ok or not? The first month I got it back it was pretty normal, maybe a bit heavier then normal but not much. Then the next month right on time I just spotted for one full day, not much at all. Then the third month I didn't get it at all. Now this month it is back right on time but it is so terribly heavy! I am on day two of it and I had to stop using tampons because they just leak threw in about an hour and not just a little leak but a lot!. I am so much crampier then I have ever been and I have had a few very small blood clots today. The clots are very tiny, like pea sized or just a bit larger. Also only about 3-4 clots when going to the bathroom.
I am just wondering if it is at all normal for my periods to be out of whack while my body adjust and gets back on track. This month just has me a bit concerned because my period is so exremely heavy even in comparision to my normally heavy periods. Does this all sound ok or should I go to the doctor's about it?
Thank you so much for any thoughts or advice!
