Light period
5
Sun, 01-21-2007 - 12:09pm

Well, I've stopped using condoms. I was 1 hour late with one pill for the entire month. My period showed up on Tuesday (which is my normal day, with cramps and bloating, but has been lighter than normal. It basically stopped on Saturday, which is also abnormal for me. Usually I have a small amount of residue/brown blood still happening by this time (Sunday/Monday). Anyone have any ideas of what could be happening? Pregnancy?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jill! I've been on Cyclen for 5 years now. It's just I never had a period this light. Last month, my period even started a day early. I guess cycles can be weird sometimes.

I forgot to say that I took my pill an hour later than the two hour time limit. On the Sunday after period had started, I got some spotting/light blood. After reading some of the posts about light periods, I'm feeling a little stressed. :(

If you have been on the same pill 5 years it may be that your body has changed enough, or is changing, so that your periods will be a bit different. Or it may just be a one-time thing. Was the pill you took
