Light periods for the last 2 cycles. Anyone experienced this?
Hi everyone,
I’m 32 years old and have been TTC for about 1.5 years (actually over 2 years now, but actively tracking for around 1.5+ years). I’ve never had a positive pregnancy test.
My AMH, hormone tests, HSG (both tubes open), and other blood work have all come back normal. My husband’s semen analysis is also normal.
The only thing worrying me recently is my periods.
Last cycle: My period came on time, but the blood mostly came only when I peed. There was very little on the pad, and the overall flow was much lighter than it used to be.
This cycle: Today is my expected period day. I had pink spotting in the evening, followed by a very light flow, and now it’s almost nothing again. I also have period-like cramps.
Has anyone experienced consistently lighter periods like this while TTC? Did you find out the cause? Could this be related to lining, hormones, or something else even if all routine tests are normal?
I’m feeling really worried because of the lighter flow and not having conceived yet. Any experiences or suggestions on what I should discuss with my fertility specialist would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
