Is it a problem if i just got a light period and i usually have heavy periods?

Not necessarily: Most women may experience a period once in a while that is not typical for them. If the periods are coming on a regular basis, there is no need for big concern.

No: Periods vary in response to your ovaries production of female hormones like estrogen & progesterone; as well as how your uterus responds to them.
