What is the normal amount of bleeding during my period?
The average woman loses about two to three tablespoons of blood during her period.8 Your periods may be lighter or heavier than the average amount. What is normal for you may not be the same for someone else. Also, the flow may be lighter or heavier from month to month.
Your periods may also change as you get older. Some women have heavy bleeding during perimenopause, the transition to menopause. Symptoms of heavy menstrual bleeding may include:
Bleeding through one or more pads or tampons every one to two hours
Passing blood clots larger than the size of quarters
Bleeding that often lasts longer than eight days
