Natural Variation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As the cycle is subject to normal hormonal changes, it may sometimes result in a lighter menstrual flow. It is normal to have a month&#8217;s variation in flow, and this may leave you questioning yourself as to \u201cwhy is my period so light this month?\u201d. However, if you experience lighter flow almost every month, the reason behind it could be else than natural hormonal fluctuations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Hormonal_Contraception\"><\/span><strong>2.

Stress, Diet and Fluctuations of Weight<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High stress increases cortisol levels, and this might inhibit estrogen and progesterone, leading to light menses. Menstrual flow is also impaired by low body fat due to dieting, exercise, or undereating. This may be one of the reasons why your period may be so light this month.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Engage_in_Sporting_Activities\"><\/span><strong>4.
