    Light Period

    Hi, I just registered to this forum so I am sorry if I am asking a question that was already answered

    I usually have a period that lasts 5-6 days. The 2nd and 3rd days are usually quite heavy.
    I have been taking birth control for a little over 6 months now, never missed a pill and always took it on time.
    Me and my boyfriend are sexually active but we always use a condom and we always check if it broke; it never did.

    My last period was a little more than a week ago. It was very light. It never was this light before. I had my usual period symptoms (cramps at the beginning), they started on time (and during my sugar pills) and took 4-5 days.
    Would it be possible for me to be pregnant, even though I don't see HOW I could be? I have no pregnancy symptoms.
    Or is this just normal?

    Thank you!

    We're all bound to have an odd period here and there. Stress could be a factor, any number of things can cause a lighter period.

    You are VERY cautious which is very commendable. So relax a bit, take a pregnancy test if it will give you absolute peace of mind.

    Personally though, I don't think you have anything to worry about.
