Woman's menstrual blood can be heavier or lighter from cycle-to-cycle, and this is normal. Some of the blood can even come out in a "lump", and this is tissue that is being eliminated. Also completely normal. (Your menstrual period is actually tissue and blood that makes up your thickened uterine lining).
Let me tell you what abnormal/excessive bleeding is:
- Bleeding heavily that you soak more than one pad/tampon per hour
- Bleeding more than 7 days
If either of these describe your experience of "so much blood", please call your doctor and let him/her know.

Can you define what "so much blood" is?
