A lighter period than normal can be caused by many things, including pregnancy, stress, illness, and other things. Sometimes a woman will have spotting and think her period is about to start and not see any more bleeding. This can be implantation bleeding, which is the earliest sign of pregnancy, that is sometimes mistaken for a menstrual cycle. It can also be that your period simply is lighter that month.
1 Spotting to minimal bleeding may be normal. 2  But any bleeding during pregnancy needs to be evaluated by your doctor. 3  Heavy vaginal bleeding or bleeding that occurs before 12 weeks may mean a serious problem, including an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. You also may have bleeding if you do not take your pills at a regular time each day. 2  For more information, see the topic Birth Control. 3  An intrauterine device (IUD) also may increase your chances of spotting or heavy periods. 4  For more information on the IUD, see the topic Birth Control.
