A couple of years ago, while I was on the pill, my 3-4 day period suddenly decreased to a 1/2 - 1 day period, after my initial panic (and taking a pregnancy test just to make sure), I decided it wasn't that big of a deal. From that point on, my period has been extremely light - lasting maybe 1 day, maximum 2 days, and not heavy at all. I got married 6 months ago, and immediately stopped taking the pill with the hope of getting pregnant (I'm now 30 years old). My periods have remained light, should I be worried? Can I still be ovulating? I'm not sure if this is related, but I also have a very low sex drive.

This could all be hormonal. You are 30 after all.

Now, you have been off the pill for 6 months, it can take much longer for your body to rebuild it's own natrually occurring hormones. You have been taking synthetic for a few years, so your body has to go through an adjustment to get back to normal.

If you are bleeding you are still ovulating. So there is nothing to worry about there. As far as the sex drive goes, that may have to do with your age. You may want to go to your doctor and have a hormone work-up done.
