Light period after changing birth control pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That can occur.: The main reason for light periods is change in hormone levels. Causes for what seems to be a light period can include: thyroid problems, 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. Change in oral contraceptive can cause changes to period.
