Light period: Light periods and/or occasional spotting is not unusual in one's late thirties, but if you are not using birth control, it is best to get a serum HCG test from your gyn provider to make certain you are not pregnant. Light bleeding/spotting can be due to irregular ovulation, with variations of estrogen production, causing the light bleeding.

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD. Consult this site for more information on this topic. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
