    Has had light periods for 3 months. Any idea of what's going on?

    I had sex 4 days before my period was due.
    Had light spotting then, and thought it was implantation bleeding.
    But I've taken so many tests, hpt, blood, and ultrasound tests even after second month of light bleeding during when my period came around to fully cancel out pregnancy. And the ultrasound even canceled out possibilities of a developing cyst.

    This past week just marked a third light period.
    Each period for the past 3 months has lasted at most 4 days. Heavy the first two and regular cramps per usual, but then light and dainty the next one or two days.

    Any idea what this may be?
    Is this just me having a wonky period?

    Do you mean you're periods are coming at normal times, but they are just light?

    Sounds like you're definitely not pregnant. My periods are at most 4 days, heavy the first 1-2 and then light for the next 1-2 days just as you described. To me, unless there is more to the story here, it doesn't sound like anything is wrong.....

      Yeah, they are definitely coming at around the same time it usually does, but up until 3 months ago it always lasted 5-7 days instead of this 4 day business thats been going on.

      Also, it could just be weight gain, but the area around my belly button seemed firmer the past week or two.

        What does your doc say about it? If you are having periods monthly as normal, and the only change is that they are a bit shorter, I wouldn't give that too much concern. If you've gained weight that could be causing your period to change too.
