A member asked:
What can cause periods to start coming late(1-2 weeks late) and start off red(not dark) but then stay light brown? also lighter & shorter than normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variant of normal: Periods can change in character and quality from month to month, decade to decade. Some factors like stress or infection can affect your hormonal status and change your periods as well. Weight gain or loss can also cause your periods to change.
