Very light period, not normal flow

[Mandy82]

It’s been awhile since I’ve been back. I was doing so good but now am freaked out.
Last month I had a very light period, I thought it was because I missed some birth control but the same thing is happening this month. I’m 37 years old, could I be starting perimenopause? Of course I went straight to google and got a wide range of different illnesses. My paps have always been normal and I have my annual check up next month. Anyone experience this? Please help!

Could be. Could be a number of things. Periods change as time goes by. Mine did all kinds of weird things and all my issues were benign.

Hi,

I'm 19 and I've always had irregular periods, but I've recently lost a lot of weight and I think it's made my schedule even worse.

My most recent period only lasted a single day. I don't even know if I should count it, or just say that I've missed it completely.

I'm not too worried about it, though. So I hope that everything is alright with you...

So many factors affect your period- stress (it’s certainly a stressful time with Covid), change of routine, increase or decrease in exercise etc. back in May my period came five days early, was incredibly light, and lasted only two days(I’m 40 btw.) You can begin having perimenopausal symptoms, but a light period Or two does not necessarily mean anything.
