A member asked:
Can your menstrual flow vary? all day it was very heavy but i wake up this morning and theres barely anything. i'm on the first day
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, it is perfectly normal for menstrual flow to vary over the course of a day and over the course of your period. During the day, you are upright and moving around, which helps move the blood from your uterus out of your body. When you are lying down at night, gravity and movement play less of a role so the flow is often diminished
