My period started literally 36 hrs after stopping the drug. On CD 5 I started taking Clomid so we can get pregnant. I'm currently on day 8 of my flow and even though it has slowed down quite a bit I am still bleeding raspberry color.

Last time my period was extremely heavy, like others have said every 1/2 hour to hour my pad would need to be changed, and a lot of clotting. Can't complain too much though because for a while my periods were normal and I was actually able to lose a ton a weight with my hormones actually behaving for a change.
