A member asked:

I was meant to be on my period but when it came it was browish n light and lasted for two days what's the cause of that i'm confuse help me please?

Normal to Pregnancy: If there is concern regarding pregnancy, a light period is common and a pregnancy test is needed. This may also be normal and indicate ovulation did not occur as expected this month. It can be normal with hormonal contraception as well.
