Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Lucky this month : Slight variations in the amount of bleeding each month is very normal. Since this month is better than your normal cycles i would consider yourself lucky. If you're not satisfied with the amount of bleeding you're having each month consider taking birth control to regulate your menstrual cycles.
