Question: I am 18, I have been taking birth control for a year now, my periods are usually a medium flow, I usually have to change my pad daily. This time though, I took the last pill in my pack as usual, on Saturday, my period usually starts around Monday/ Tuesday after that, which it has, today is now Wednesday, and my period is really light, I haven't even filled up an entire pad since yesterday. I have my normal cramps, just a really light period. Is this normal? Since we are so busy, I am rarely sexually active with my boyfriend. We had intercourse once last month, I am also in the middle of moving out, and switching jobs, I say this, because I heard stress can be a factor, and I was just curious. I also should add that I found out I was pregnant last November, and had an abortion, things have gotten have on cycle since then, but I have been kind of a hypochondriac when it comes to any symptoms, I freak out. And I can convince myself of anything. I hope that makes sense, basically what I need to know is if I have anything to worry about again, I am very consistent with my birth control pill. People have told me you can get periods even if you're pregnant, is this true? Or is it just normal that I am lighter this time?
