What does it mean if your menstrual blood flow has been lighter than normal for about 5 months? not pregnant.

It's OK: It could be an indication that you're shedding the lining of the uterus more efficiently than you did in the past. Also, lighter periods would be expected if you've started birth control pills this year.
