The usual menstrual duration is 3-5 days with a variable flow. The amount of blood lost can range from spotting up t 80 cc. However, the average amount lost is 30 cc. The average amount of blood lost divided by the number of days of bleeding would give an estimated daily blood loss. Various factors affact the flow rate including medications, diseases of blood clotting and endometrial thickening.

When is day one of your cycle?

Day one of the menstrual cycle is THE DAY YOU START BLEEDING, THE DAY YOU START GETTING YOUR MENSTRUAL FLOW. This is the day you start counting your cycle, until you get the first day of the next period, this is, that is the fist day of that new cycle. DO NOT start counting from the last day of your period, that is a common mistake. It is important when you visit a physician to know when was your last menstrual period, so try and keep record of it in some form of agenda or excel page. When a doctor asks, "when was your last menstrual period?" he or she will count on you to remember this date, it is important health information and you should be responsible to remember it. He or she are expecting to hear the date of the FIRST DAY of your last, and therefore, most recent menstrual period. I'm a general physician, so, I'm telling you, for us, this is important.
