Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Scanty flow during the periods can be due to pregnancy, hormonal disturbances or due to infection.
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, then the pregnancy is ruled out.
You should get your thyroid hormone levels and prolactin levels checked to rule out hormonal disturbances and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
