Will I lose a lot of blood?
Again, that depends on the girl. You may feel like you’re bleeding a lot, but remember that the average amount varies, with some women losing about 3 tablespoons of blood and others 1/3 of a cup during a whole menstrual cycle. If you think you’re losing more than that, are bleeding through even the most absorbent pads, or feel sick, you don’t have to grin and bear it. Talk to your doctor.
