The joy of womanhood: What you are experiencing is the body naturally trying to return your cycle to it regular state. Something caused the irregular light period 2 cycles ago, and your body is correcting for it. It may have been something as simple as a rapid change in weight, to a traumatic event in your life, (death in family, boyfriend cheated on you), or an infection you have now overcome. Normal cycle coming!
