Hello
Thanks for your query.
There could be a lot of reasons for the altered bleeding pattern.
Sometimes its a normal variation for some women.
An early pregnancy, a failed pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy could present this way.
Apart from that, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovaries or endometrial lesions could be a cause.
Common reasons are stress, anxiety, frequent travelling, emotional trauma, recent changes in weight , ingestion of hormonal medications etc.
TO pinpoint the exact reason, you need to consult a gynecologist.
Take care.
