Light period or implantation bleeding?

I got my "period" on Sunday afternoon,at first it was light pink with a brown discharge. Later that day,it was dark red and pretty heavy with pretty bad cramps,today it was heavy in the morning but mid afternoon/evening it was really light. My period was also a little later than it was expected,but I had been stressed a lot. Can stress cause a late and light period?

Hi!
Yes, stress can delay the periods and cause a lighter blood flow. However, if you had unprotected sex, then please rule out pregnancy through a urine test after your periods have stopped. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
