Quick period question...

I came on on Sunday which was the day i expected to. Im usually on for 5 days starting really quite heavy then getting lighter the last 2 days.

Anyway, I came on Sunday, and it was really light for 3 days as in barely there, then it was gone by yesterday.

Im on the pill and i know the day i come on, and finish and it has been this way since i had ds 2.5 years ago and went back on the pill. and it has always been heavy for the first 3 then lighter for next 2 days.

What could this mean? I cant be pregnant as ive still had a period

Do a test.. could be an implantation bleed or some people have light bleeding around the time their period is due.

Some women carry on having periods although light throughout their pregnancy..... so if a chance you could be pregnant then i'd test.

Agree with the others. Do a test. It's probably just the Pill that's made your period so light, but best to test just in case.

Take a test, i thought i was'nt pg with dd2 as i had a short light period, a few days latter i felt sick, took a test and was pg.

Good luck

oh god. the thought has crossed my mind but ive been determined not to believe it. Ive not missed a pill for a long long time so i dont know how i could be. It would be my worst nightmare

although you haven't missed a pill, have you been unwell anytime sickness, diarrhoea or taken any antibtiotics that may have effected the pill.

Don't panic Juicy.. you really are highly unlikely to be pregnant and would bet money that you're not. The pill sometimes causes very light periods.

littleboo · 26/07/2007 14:10

juicychops - prob right sometimes you can get a lighter period with stress, pill all kinds of things
