A member asked:
I'm anemic and lost quite a bit of blood 7weeks ago due to a hand injury. could this be the cause as to why my last 2 periods have been very light?

It is possible: Only time will tell. But it is possible although Anemia by itself doe snot always lead to lighter periods.You should get your blood counts and Hemoglobin checked just to be sure as to what you need to do to correct your blood loss. If your hemoglobin level is under 11 Grams, you may need further tests and or iron supplements.
