Not sure of ?: The main reason for light periods is change in hormone levels. Causes for what seems to be a light period can include: thyroid problems, stressm eating disorders, excessive exercise, initial periods for a girl, use of an intrauterine device, oral contraceptives, perimenopause & implantation bleeding in early pregnancy which rarely occurs.
