A member asked:
Why was my last period only lasting 3 days light blood spotting when im on the pill and have been for years its the first time its ever changed?

Probably normal: As long as you haven't missed any pills, this should not be a problem. Periods tend to get lighter on the pill. If you are concerned you are pregnant, which can happen rarely on the pill, then check a pregnancy test.
