Hey everyone,

so i have always known that i have a heavy period, but never really thought too much about it because how much i bleed is always usually the same for me and i never really learnt what is “normal”. i recently searched up what is the normal amount of blood loss for a period and it says 10-80mL for 2-6 days is normal blood loss. when calculating how many tampons i go thru/soak a day and adding the blood that also is soaked into a pad i wear along with my tampon it is well over 80mL per day!

often times i can wake up and once i sit up i gush so much my pad can’t even soak it up and it leaks all over...

does anyone else experience this heavy of a period? should i be going to a doctor/is this not healthy?

i do get lightheaded and sick feeling sometimes but usually comes and goes and isn’t that much of a hassle
