Does light menstruation mean anything?

Answer by  ravnos (89)

Changes in menstruation can happen throughout a woman's life. Things such as changes in eating habits and physical activity can affect it. Stress can also play a part. If pregnancy is suspected take a test for peace of mind, but generally light menstruation is not a sign of anything bad.

How many cycles? If just one, you could be pregnant as many women have a very period-like bleed in the first month of gestation. If you are not pregnant, it sounds pretty benign to me, but be safe and consult a gynocologist!

Everyone has different periods, and you may even notice that your periods have changed over time. In most cases a lighter period should not be a cause for concern, some people just tend to have lighter peiods than otehrs. If you are concerned make an appointment and get checked by your doctor.

If you notice a change in your periods, there could be a change in your body. But, this is not always the case. A lot of women have irregualr periods. If it is coming at the same time each month, you probably have nothing to worry about. If it was late, you could be pregnant.

A light menstruation is fine. If you are taking birth control that could be causing your periods to be lighter. Some birth controls will completely stop your period and that could be what is happening.

Any repeated change in the menstrual cycle indicates systemic change. Stress, changes in hormone levels, and more serious problems can all cause changes. See a doctor to relieve your concerns.

This could just mean a change in habit or a change due to birth control if you are on it. It could be that you excersized more this month.
