A member asked:
I've been on the pill for years, but this month i'm having a bizarrely light period. i'm stressed out about it. why might it be so light?

Stress period: Even though you have enjoyed the control and predicability that the pill has given you, it could actually be going the other way. Instead of your being stressed because of your period irregularity, stress could have caused this weird period. The good news is, whenever your issue passes in the next month or two, you should be back to complete normal periods as you have enjoyed for years.
