I have had my period for 8 years. They were totally regular up until the past year or so. I recently (well, over the course of the year) lost almost 40 pounds. I am underweight with a BMI of 17.5. When this happened I noticed going from a 32 day cycle to a 23-28 day cycle. My periods also gradually starting getting lighter and lighter. This is gross, but I only need like 1 and a half regular tampons on the first day, 1 on the second, and then I spot for 3 more days. I follow my ovulation using cervical mucus, and I THINK i am ovulating, but I'm not sure. Also would an egg even be able to implant if my lining is this light. if I do become pregnant, would pregnancy spotting be distinguishable from my normal periods?

Gain some weight! It is highly unlikely that you will be able to conceive this way & if you do, it could endanger both your & the baby's health.
Go see a doctor, dietician or nutritionist fast!

Being underweight can certainly have a negative effect on your fertility. I suspect you are not ovulating and suggest you see a doctor.
