Anyone else suffer from extremly light periods

[saz24]

Maybe a stupid question but my last 2 periods have been super super light, i literally only know i have my period because theres a little brown blood on the tampon if i was to wear a pad it would be a tiny dribble, is this normal? My period used to be absolutely fine before this

Yes I have this aswell. Sometimes it's more, sometimes there is nothing just a feeling and sore boobs. I think it's my contraception. It's actually quite annoying. I used to have heavy periods when I was younger and not us8ng contraception.

Thank god i'm not the only one! Im not on any contraception so cant even blame that! Probably stress

POAS

Only when pregnant. POAS seconded

I have always had very light periods. Don't use tampons as they never get soaked. Could leave a pad all day and it won't be "full". I had 4 kids no problems so fertility unaffected. I always assumed I was just lucky.

I took a test a few days before my period was due and obviously came up negative do you think i should try again?

I'm a bit at the notion of "suffering" with light periods OP.

I know i thought that myself when i wrote it haha wasn't sure how to word it

It is horrible though. I can't use pads, I find them so uncomfortable so use tampons bit because there's not much there it can be really uncomfortable. I much preferred having a heavier period maybe I'm just a bit weird 😂

@Timeisslippingaway no your not weird i'm the exact same i like a normal period every month so i know everything is working😂 it's when it get a light or irregular i panic😂

I also though mine lightened slightly after after having kids but I could be wrong I've never mentioned it to the doctor or anything so that might not even be possible.

Well I have light periods yes, I've always been quite pleased about it though. Is it a problem? I got pregnant easily enough.

Would say I have light periods would say they are normal but tend to stop at night which is bit strange but I’m happy about

*wouldnt

depending on your age you could be heading towards menopause..are you 40+?

Hmmmm sounds like you need to poas to me!

I did (currently pregnant) and it really worried me as they weren't light in my teens and twenties so I thought I was going to have an early menopause at 33 or something but obviously not!

My sister has very light periods too, so not sure if it's just a family thing for us. It doesn't seem to have caused any fertility issues as she got pregnant the first month she tried (although it took me a year)

@QueenoftheNights no i'm only 27
