Hi,

Light colour menstruation blood may not indicate menstrual bleeding , it can also be secretion from vaginal mucosa due to infection or hormonal irregularities. I would advise a thyroid profile test and a course of antibiotics doxycycline with lactobacillus for 10 days. Also, lastly, I would suggest that if you miss period do a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
