How much blood is too much?

Question

Hey y'all, 
I'm a grownass woman so I'm way embarrassed asking this question.. but how much menstrual blood is too much? I use a diva cup so I see exactly how much I'm losing, and in the last 5 hours I've overflown twice. I'm at 60ml in those 5 hours. Is this just a heavy flow or should I be worried? I'm used to a heavy flow, just not THIS heavy. I can normally wear my cup for 6 hours.
I did get a copper IUD during my previous period, can this much bleeding be because of that?

Answer

I heard that the copper IUD can make your periods slightly heavier, and more cramping. However I have one and I haven't really noticed a difference. Some months I feel like my period is heavy and long and then some months it lasts like w or 3 days and I question if that was really it or not. If you are bleeding that much for several days I would call your Dr, but I do think the IUD does have something to so with jt

Answer

That was around the norm for me when I first got my copper IUD! I had to have mine removed after 8 months because I'm anemic, so the blood loss was exhausting me. It did let up for me a bit after a couple months, but it was still much heavier than my periods without the IUD!

Answer

Remember period blood isn’t just blood, it’s also indometrial lining and tissue and stuff like that, so unless everything is bright red I wouldn’t worry too much yeah?

Answer

That seems very excessive to me, but I’m definitely not an expert. 🤔
