A member asked:
My periods are usually really heavy with cramps, the last 5 months were really light and no cramps...why? not sexually active......
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure why.: The main reason for light periods is a change in hormone levels. Causes for what seems to be a light period can include: implantation bleeding in early pregnancy, thyroid problems, eating disorders, excessive exercise, initial periods for a girl, use of an intrauterine device, oral contraceptives & perimenopause.
