Wow. I just did some reading (thanks Dr google) and my period is REALLY heavy. I didn't realise that 80mls just on day 1 was a lot. LOL. Perhaps i'll cut the dr some slack. I didn't give him the full picture. But then to be fair, he didn't really ask either. How was i meant to know what is considered normal and what isn't?

I am NOT going to see a gastroenterologist. Not yet anyway
