Why Does One Have Less Blood Flow During Periods?

Hi, I am addrija.I m Mother of 9 month kid.I have started using BCP(Femilon) from last month only . I have stopped it on 21st Day of my last period . On 5th day of break i have observed very little spotting but not much blood has been flown . After that nothing happens . I am about to start 2nd phase of medicine on 8th day as my doctor prescribed .I am not sure whether my period will happen as with the pills on , it seems period won t start . Please let me know what should i do , or is it normal . Another thing , most of the times less blood flow happens for me during period . And i doubt if the medicine has bad effect on this .

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Decreased menstrual flow could be a side effect of oral contraceptives or could be due to lactation if you are lactating your child due to increased prolactin hormone which is physiological and normal to occur.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
