Hormones: The amount of bleeding a woman has during her menstrual cycle. Is almost always dependent on her hormones. I wouldn't worry that the diminishment in the amount of flow means anything bad or ominous. If the menstrual cycle were to stop entirely that would be a reason to see a gynecologist.
