If you drink alcohol or smoke, stop to avoid the possible negative effect on your baby. This applies for both the man and the woman.
If you haven't carried out some basic tests, do them before pregnancy especially those that can affect your baby.

In ectopics, pregnancy can stay in the woman's tube, ovaries, lining of/within any part of the tummy etc
As the pregnancy grows, it becomes bigger than the space it is occupying & can rupture/burst leading the severe blood loss or death of the women in some cases.

Also before a woman becomes menopausal, her period may become more irregular and far apart until it finally stops showing up.
You will benefit from seeing a specialist to evaluate you and address your concerns

Each regular pad or tampon soaks about 5ml of blood(1tspn)
So if your period is 80mls, then you will be using an average of 16 pads or so during your period.
If you are using more than 16, each pad fully soaked, your flow is heavy
