why has my period changed from heavy to light?

im 38 years old and my periods are usually heavy. I always get terrible cramps on my first day, and usually a couple of days before my period I have light bleeding. for the last 3 months I havent had any cramps or bleeding and my period is very light. could you please tell me why this has suddenly happened?

Answer #1

It is possible to have “light” period like symptoms and be pregnant. Different foods can change the “heaviness” of menstruation as well. It is nothing to worry about but if you are sexually active go buy a $20 test. If it is causing you too much worry do talk to your doctor
