what could cause a heavy period to go much lighter over a couple of months?

Question

i have a medium-heavy period normally but over the last couple of months they have been much much lighter, im not pregnant and im not on birth control...what else could cause this?

Answer 1

Hormones...we are regulated and dictated by our hormones..I would celebrate..but..always see your doctor and get a good exam and discuss your concerns..I would be more concerned if I were having pain unresolved with OTC meds and worsening pain with my periods..

Answer 2

A number of things could cause a lighter period: prolonged stress, a hormonal imbalance, a poor diet, excessive exercise, or a radical change in diet or exercise regimes.
