Q: Extremely Light Period

Hi,
My periods are so light that it can barely even be considered getting your period...i only bleed a little bit and it pretty much stops completely by mid day...maybe i should be grateful its not heavy but im not sure its very normal...what the heck?? I was on birth control for years, and i remember my periods being very heavy when i was younger, pre-birth control...ever since they have been light. I just stopped taking birth control a couple months ago.

The same thing happened to me. I had heavy periods pre-pill and after stopping the pill, they stayed light for a year, they got maybe a bit heavier towards the end of the year, but not much. The good news is if you are trying for a baby with these light periods is they don't necessary make it hard to conceive. I was able to get pregnant on the 2nd cycle trying.

Birth control (especially when taken for a long time) can reduce your periods and it might take a while for your body to normalize again.

Of course, it could be other things too-- are you eating enough? Are you in good health? If you are, it's probably from the bcps. If you're concerned, you can bring it up at your next annual, but I'd just enjoy it for now.
