Amount of blood loss - Is this severe?

Hi, guys. Just a quick question..

I currently use a menstrual cup (Mooncup), but I've noticed that on my current period my cup has been overflowing with blood every hour, normally it is never this much. That's over 30ml of blood p/h, all day and night, it's a little troublesome, but my cramps aren't too bad at the moment, I'm only on my second day of my bleed so far.

Is this anything to be worried about? It just seems like.. an awful lot of blood. Is it?

Thank you! :)

I feel a little weak & unstable but no dizziness or fainting yet. Luckily I don't have much to do today so I'm able to just stay put for a bit. :)

I will see if I can get a doctor appointment soon, I wasn't sure if maybe it was normal bleeding & I had just been a little misinformed, so i had to ask.

Thanks for replying! :)

It *could* be normal, just could be a freaky heavy period, but it is a lot of blood, so getting it checked out is definitely important.
