Heavy Bleeding 🩸
I have PCOS, but my period has always been regular in the 10 years I’ve been diagnosed. I don’t use birth control as my husband and I are TTC. My periods usually run about six days and I lose around 60mL of blood each day from what I dump out of my menstrual cup. This period I’m currently on started January 3rd with spotting, but has gradually increased to around 150mL/day, and today is January 26th. I’ve read contradicting info that gives the normal total bleeding amount for a period be 60 mL or less. I read an article stating that using a menstrual cup is always going to seem like a lot of blood and cup users shouldn’t look to the lower numbers as representative of what cup users encounter. I’m already trying to set up an appointment gynecologist but I was curious what other cup users have been dealing with when it comes to measuring the amount of blood loss each month.
