During your menstrual cycle, your body prepares for the possibility of becoming pregnant. During the first half of your cycle, estrogen and progesterone hormone levels rise and thicken the lining of the uterus to protect the egg released by an ovary each month. If an egg is fertilized, it will embed itself into the new thick lining of your uterus. However, if no egg is fertilized, your body sheds the excess lining over the course of several days in the form of menstrual blood or, your period.
Normal periods can vary from one woman to the next.
In a normal period
- 4-12 tablespoons of blood are lost
- bleeding occurs about every 24-31 days
- bleeding lasts 4-7 days
In a heavy period
- periods last for a long time
- bleeding is so heavy you need to change protection frequently
- heavy bleeding causes you to limit your activities or miss work
- heavy bleeding causes fatigue or anemia
