What Causes Scanty Periods?
I have normal 28 day periods usually. And they are normally very heavy. I had a very light spotty period at my normal time on Nov 11. I started spotting very lightly brown on the 28th and 29 th only when I wipe. Today it s a little more and it s rusty and orange colored. I ve had mild cramping at times. What could this mean?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Scanty flow during menstruation can be due to pregnancy or any hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism.
I would suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done and if negative, then you should get your hormonal profile done including thyroid hormone levels and prolactin levels.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
