A member asked:
I'm 21 past couple months my periods are short & light. like don't need a tampon , light. and only last about a day. any idea why?

Hormones: Our periods are controlled by our hormones, and sometimes our thyroid gland. If you are thin, then sometimes light periods can be due to diminished or low estrogen levels. If you are having a cycle every month, then you are ovulating and likely nothing is wrong. How many women would change places with you in a heartbeat!
