NWR personal body question (may be TMI but i'm a little freaked out)
So I've been on the pill for 8 years and I take it at the same time every day, and FH and I also use condoms like 95% of the time. I get my period like clockwork every month, same day same time and it follows the same pattern. This month it came sort of, but it has been REALLY light the whole time. Like don't even need a tampon most of the time light. Its not like spotting though cuz it is dark brown and sometimes red not light pink, but I'm still a little freaked out. My cramps have also been less than normal (i should be grateful huh?). I know I'm seriously stressed (graduating in a couple weeks, new job starting) plus my body is waaay run down and I have a cold, and I started taking new allergy meds this month. These are all reasons it could be lighter, right? Anyone have any insight to help me calm down?
Thanks.

It can definitely be attributed to stress.
You and FH sounds like you are being more than responsible I wouldn't worry about it too much though. By Monday if you are still concerned give your dr. a call just to get thier advice. I wouldn't worry though

If ur worried about pregnancy then just take an over the counter prego test just to put ur mind at ease! They're so easy. And if its negative then yay to a shorter, lighter period with less cramps!! I'm not sure if we can find exactly why its different, but its nothing to be nervous about. Stress can do wonders to hormones.
HTH!

Everything was fine!!! I attributed it to the fact that I was on antibiotics. But any little thing can changes things down there. Like for example, if you missed a pill or even took it at a different time of the day and STRESS!!!

Stress can totally mess with your cycle, it's most likely just that. Don't worry, but take a test just in case to ease your mind.

It's most likely nerves, sounds like you have alot going on right now! If you want to put yourself at ease just take a quick test.

Don't worry that has happened to me before I am on the pill but I wasn't pregnant. If you are using condoms also I would say the chances are very slim. I would take a test just to ease your mind - the stress of thinkning about it could be making you nuts...

UPDATE: thank you guys sooo much for your comments. My mom too assured me that its stress, but just to ease my mind I did take a test and its negative wooo.
