A member asked:
I am 17 yrs old my periods last about 6 days and its always heavily flowing, but this time i had a very light period that lasted 4 days, why?

Couple of things: One is that you didn't ovulate and this is breakthrough bleeding as a result. The other concern is pregnancy if you're sexually active. If you are check a pregnancy test.
