Worried about very light periods

OK this is embarrasing but I need to ask!

Since coming off the pill just over a year ago my periods have got lighter and lighter. This month I had minute amounts of bleeding for just 2 days! My doctor says it is nothing to worry about and has done blood tests to check my hormone levels and says that they show I'm ovulating.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks if you can help!!!

Hi CSM- sorry I missed this earlier...I sure hope you see it still. (((((hugs)))))) I was having the same thing happen to me after a possible m/c in December...after about 4 months they sort of got back to normal, but since then have gone way light again- like two days of not even light bleeding...but inbetween December and now I've seen my midwife like three times- checking for a possible ectopic pg in January, and an ob/gyn checking me for endometreosis and/or pcos- he said I had neither, that "Would I be okay with my periods if they stayed light and short like that?" So, yep- sounds like you're having the same thing I am- ovulatory cycles with short and/or light af. I'm okay with it if the dr's are okay with it and not thinking that at some point it may be a ttc issue. Hope you get your bfp here soon! GL!!!! LOLove, Connie

Hi Connie,

Thank you SO much for posting - it's such a relief to hear that I'm not the only one with these strange periods! We've been ttc for about a year so perhaps I'm just getting paranoid! :0)

Baby dust to you!!!
