A member asked:
I had my period on time, but it was short. 2-3 days. my periods are normally short because of birth control but i'm worried about pregnancy.

Short period: 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.
