Why Are My Periods So Light?
I usually have heavy periods, I had sex with my boyfriend with a condom the day before, but we were interrupted and didn't finish. I started my period but it's really light practically nothing. Just the first quarter of the tampon is getting bloody. Why is it so light? Should I worry?

Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
Any change in menstrual pattern should raise suspicion. Number one cause is an undiagnosed pregnancy.
Do a urine pregnancy test to exclude this possibility. It may be repeated after a week if negative initially.
If the test is negative, you may just wait & see.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
