I usually have heavy periods. This month, my period came probably on time, maybe a little early, and it was lighter than usual. It was like this for about 2 days then I had unprotected sex (he pulled out to ejaculate) with my fiance in the shower and now (the next day) IT IS GONE 100%. My period usually lasts at least 7-8 days. It has NEVER stopped early or gotten light early. I RARELY get cramps or any discomfort during my period and this time around I have had such terrible stomach and abdominal pains, discomfort, gas and cramps. My breasts are enlarged and sore (usual,not too concerned about that). About 8 hours later, I can see here is some LIGHT, VERY LIGHT spotting there(2-3 light pink almost clear drops). Am I pregnant?? What is going on??

Answer by Dr. Rajgopal, MBBS (doctor) on Sun 24, May 2009 12:03am:

Hi, The cause for light periods and cramps could be use of birth control pills. Light periods could be due to anaemia that may result from heavy menstrual bleeding that you had always. The medical conditions that may cause these symptoms are – hyperthyroidism, Graves disesase, Asherman’s syndrome. You could be pregnant.Please get a pregnancy test done and if it is negative, please consult a gynaecologist to rule out any of the above conditions. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards !
