| What exactly is a heavy period?
Would you think this would be a heavy period? My hubby says, Yes, definitely...but I'm thinking this is just normal. Sorry if this is too much info, but I'm confused.
Day 1 - light, medium flow
Day 2 - changing SUPER tampons every hour for most of the day or SUPER PLUS tampons 1-1.5 hours. By the end of the day, I can probably go every 1.5 hours without changing a SUPER. I use a backup pad because I will start leaking after an hour or so if I don't get to a bathroom. have to stick by a bathroom most of day. some flooding. several small clots. Get up to change pad during night several times. An accident every so often.
Day 3 - changing SUPER tampons every 2 hours. back up pad. definitely can't be without a bathroom for more than 2-3 hours. some flooding. several small clots. get up to change pad during night once, twice.
Day 4 - medium flow, regular tampon
Day 5 - medium flow, regular tampon...getting lighter towards end of day
Day 6 - light flow
Day 7 - light flow
Day 8 - small amount of brown (old) blood
I'm done for the month!!!
I was anemic, and now just have low iron. Doctors keep asking me if I have a heavy period and I say always say yes, but I'm not really sure. As only 2 days of my period are extremely heavy.
Am I pretty much normal? I'm 32 years old...2 kids.
