monthly flow 'quantity' and diva cup

[allinyerhead.livejournal.com]

OK, so I was wondering what the average REAL woman's monthly flow was, measurement wise...Ive always kind of considered myself 'heavy flow' for the first few days, especially since I have PCOS, and I don't get it every month..but when it rains..it pours...
So I have my diva cup, and was reading the insert, the diva cup holds 1 oz and it appears that 'average' amount of fluid lost in a cycle is about one ounce...well...heavy d over here managed to fill up 4 diva cups in about 2 days...is this typical for someone with PCOS? I mean sheesh, I feel like I should probably go on a warewolf diet with all that iron ive lost1

On my heaviest days (usually about 2) I will fill a Diva Cup every 3 hours. If I don't change it I leak after about 3 1/4 hours. The rest of my period is fairly light. I could probably get away with only changing it once or twice for the rest of it (3-4 days).
