I know it is hard to believe, but you only lose 3 tablespoons of blood each period. Since menstrual fluid is more than blood, it is also made up of tissue and mucus from the endometrium, the average amount of fluid lost is 6-9 tablespoons.

The average blood loss during a period is 30 mL(s). However, it can range from spotting to 80 mL(s). Loss greater than 80mL(s) is considered abnormal. Remember that 1 teaspoon = 5 mL(s) while 1 tablespoon = 15 mL(s).
I was told once by my doctor that the blood you loose during a period is really only about 100cc total. That's about 1/4 cup or less. Seems like so much more huh?
Normal is about 10-80 milliliters per month (about 1 to 5 tea spoons). It can, however, sometimes be much more.
Approximately 8 teaspoons but remember its for all the period so its a little bit. Dont worry about it you will be fine
