Hi
The kind of irregularity in periods that you are having can be due to anemia.
I would advise you to get a blood hemoglobin assessment done.
Anemia is a very common cause of diminished flow during menstruation.
Even stress is an important factor, so take Care of it too.
If your hemoglobin comes out to be normal and you continue to experience the problem, see a nearby gynecologist.
