LIGHT MENSTRUATION

Hi!

i was wondering if anything is wrong with me. for the past few months i have had light menstruations. the colour of the blood is more of a light red than a dark red. also the flow has changed. it is a lot lighter than it use to be. is there something wrong with me? i was on the pill until february of this year.
Thank you very much!

Sometimes women on the pill have light, irregular periods for several months after getting off the hormones.  I didn't even have one for 4 months after stopping the pill.  After your ovaries have been shut down for months to years, it can take a while for things to get back to normal.  Unless you are trying to conceive, I wouldn't worry about it too much, and enjoy not having to deal with the heavy flow.  :-)

I'm not sure how old you are.  However, if you the age of 27-40, you could be pre-menopausal or preri-menapousal..hope this helps...
