A member asked:
What causes a scanty period? its very light but is red in color. not sure to mark it as spotting or period. late 30s, no pregnancy. i am not on bc

Light menses can be: caused by many things. Often stress, weight loss or gain, or a mild illness will have an impact on ovulation and menses, and it is not uncommon for women to skip a period all together at times. Consider thyroid imbalance if persistent menstrual irregularity. Some women spot a little during ovulation, and menses follow in 2 weeks. Spotting after menopause needs evaluation.
