Probably: The amount of bleeding with the period varies and if you are having bleeding (even light spotting) when your period is due, it is likely normal. You can always do a pregnancy test to be certain that you are not pregnant.

Light 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.
