Hello,
My last period was on time, but was very odd. Most of what came out was brown or brownish-red, and flow was very light for 6 days straight. I had mild cramps on one day. I have been on birth control for over a year (nuvaring) and have gotten used to regular periods that last 4-5 days and are heavy enough to need a tampon.
I know menstrual abnormalities often occur, but since I have been on birth control I have stopped expecting these irregularities.
If amenorrhea is an early sign of pregnancy, does that truly mean NO period whatsoever? Or is a light period a possible indicator? I have my yearly GYN exam next week, but should I be concerned enough to take a pregnancy test before then?
Thanks for any advice.
