Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Scanty flow during menstruation can be due to pregnancy or any hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism. If your urine pregnancy test is negative, then the pregnancy is ruled out.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including hormonal profile and ultrasound and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
