Very Light Period for past 4 month

Recently had a hormone test done & everything came back normal. Still having light periods, I think it's 7 months now. Scheduled a womanly exam for the end of the month where hopefully they'll be able to let me know what's happening.

Hi, I was looking up reasons why I might be having really irregular and light periods honestly these past four months and I almost thought your post was my own!

I had gotten my blood tested and was told nothing is wrong and it's probably hormonal imbalances as well. I'm wondering if you heard anything in particular when you went for a check up at the women's clinic?

Hope everything is alright! Thanks.

I actually got referred to a gynecologist by my dr because she couldn't figure out what was wrong; I even had a pelvic and normal ultrasound (they said came back normal but never told me what they were actually looking for). My gyno appointment was kinda pointless cuz he just sort of rushed me out & I didn't event get to explain all my symptoms and all he said was "it's totally normal at your age (then 27, recently 28) for your period to change". Honestly I am left still not knowing for certain why my period went from being super heavy to now still being super light. So if you ever get any answers I'd love to hear them. Good luck!

I also had new symptoms in November 2016 and December 21016 where I would feel this weird pressure in my vaginal area for a few seconds that I never felt (told my dr this, didn't get a chance to tell my gyno). I honestly feel like US healthcare has failed me, like so many others. But still good luck! I would still recommend seeing your dr just to make sure.

I’m struggling with the same problem. Did your doctor ever find out the cause? 

I don't know how I missed this message. 

For me, it was my PCOS springing up again. I went on birth control pills for a few months and now it is fine. I was given some medication but I stopped that because I was trying to get pregnant. 

No worries! Ha I’m in the same boat - trying to get pregnant and it’s not happening! Doctor diagnosed me with “unexplained infertility” which is frustrating because we don’t know what is the problem. Had 2 rounds of clomid + IUI and i thought the second round was timed pretty darn well but still nothing. Starting to feel discouraged and really don’t want to head down the IVF route .... been telling myself not to stress since it definitely doesn’t help with fertility which is hard because people left and right around me are getting pregnant so easily ...  although I find yoga and meditation to have a calming effect on my mind. hope to hear your TTC story soon ! Best of luck ! 

Hi Jessica; unfortunately I never got an answer other than “it’s normal for your age (27 at the time) to get a lighter flow” (told this by a gynecologist). I am still, more than 1 year later having much lighter flows than I used to but I’m sick of crappy doctors so I’ve just accepted it as the new normal. Hope all works out with you! It is quite nice having such a light flow, but the dramatic decrease was a bit alarming. Good luck!

Girl, I’ve been freaking out because of this! I have the same symptoms as you! So even on BC, we can have light periods? Because I am on BC, had heavy periods every month, and then for the last two months, nothing but light periods! I’m scared, even though my boyfriend uses condoms, and there’s never anything wrong with the condom when he pulls out. Let me know what happens!! 

This exact same thing happened to me! I used to have the heaviest periods so I went on birth control to control them, and although it made them lighter, they were still heavy. January 2018 I got a new heavy period. But since then, I have had such light periods that last for about a day or 2 and I PMS so badly for at least 2 weeks, but my bloating is pretty constant after I eat (it goes away about an hour or 2 after). I have taken so many pregnancy tests that have came back negative, and even went to  planned parenthood for one, which also came back negative. Every time I google it I see posts saying its "implantation bleeding" or i am pregnant. Knowing other people deal with this is giving me so much relief. Please tell us what happens!

I'm not on BC but my periods use to be heavy the first 3 days and then slow down. But my last period was late and it was lighter than normal now my second period started on time but it's lighter than normal too. I've taken 3 test already and they all say negative. But I've been having small cramps since a week before my periods started getting lighter.

Hey! I went to the doctor and told her everything, also that I took like 8 pregnancy tests lol she did a ultrasound to put me at ease. After a few months experiencing this, finally my period last month was completely back to normal! The doc said there was nothing wrong and that periods are not always the same, even on BC. I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this, I know how much I freaked out so I can understand 100% the panic. But hang in there! When you stop overthinking things will be back to normal 😘

You already took tests and they are negative, you’re not pregnant! My period is back to normal and apparently there’s not a reasonable explanation for the months it came lighter 🤷🏼??? please stop Googling, this is what make us so anxious. Everything will be alright!

I was given birth control pills and the first time I got it after taking those pills, periods was so heavy and it lasted for more days than usual. Then it went on to become normal. 

Hello there this is anna replying to your comment. Thank you for getting back to me. Im 57 years old and yes sexually inactive and have never been in any relationship. My periods started when i was 9 years old and from the onset they were very heavy and regular i.e. every 21 to 28 days . This continued until my early 50s when they started to become irregular i.e. miss a month and then 2 months and so on until 2016 when i was diagnosed with a uterine polyp. I had a hysteroscopy to remove it and thank god it was non cancerous. Sadly while the hysteroscopy was carried out they found out that i had a very thick uterine lining and in order to thin it out i was placed on a 6 week course of progesterone tablets and they gave me the bleed from hell which lasted 3 months non stop. I ended up in e.r 4 times and became very weak. I still have odd spotting now and again but nothing like a couple of years ago. I may be in the menopause too.
