Federal poverty level income limits for the current year are displayed by state at the United States Department of Health and Human Services website. The same income limits apply in all 48 contiguous states, including the District of Columbia. However, limits are different in Alaska and Hawaii.
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 is usually implantation bleeding that has been mistaken for a menstrual cycle.
Hormonal birth control may be the cause of a light period. Some birth control methods prevent an egg from releasing in your body. When your body doesnât release an egg, your uterus doesnât create a thick lining. This can result in lighter periods or skipped periods altogether.
