A member asked:

Can late ovulation cause your period to be light?

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Shouldn't: The nature of the periods can vary with time and from cycle to cycle. The timing of ovulation in a specific cycle is not likely to affect the amount of bleeding you experience.
