A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anovulation: One explanation for bleeding that is irregular and lighter than a period is because you are not ovulating. In this case, the lining seems to build up and then shed irregularly. It can be confused with a period or not. There is a basic workup that can be done by your doctor and you can also talk about way to regulate your cycle.
