It can be hard to determine how much bleeding someone is having because "light", "medium" and “heavy” can mean different things to different people.
In the fertility awareness community this is what is meant:
- A light day means using 1-3 tampons or pads (or under 10ml).
- A medium day means using 3-5 tampons or pads (or 10-25 ml), and
- a heavy day is understood as needing 5 or more tampons or pads (or more than 30 ml).
Your bleeding is considered spotting if you see red/ brown when you wipe, or need to use a panty liner.
