A member asked:

What if i have a light red period with no clots?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clots not required: Clots aren't always evident or present with your menses. Not to worry. If your period is excessively light and short and you are worried about pregnancy get a home test. Otherwise don't worry that you aren't having clots.
