A member asked:
Period is extremely lighter than normal, started off brownish and lasted about a day and a half with not much bleeding, what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Light menses: 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.
