A member asked:
I'm 29 and was wondering why a woman's period would go from super heavy her whole life to this month being light and pink instead of dark red?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormonal changes: I wouldn't question a good thing, but sometimes a shift in hormones based upon changes in diet/weight/stress/lifestyle can affect the way your uterine lining develops and sheds. Having a lighter period would not be as concerning as missing a period altogether. Keep track of what happens next month with a menstrual calendar.
