Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had sex (foreplay and no penetration) seven months back. After that, I did six pregnancy tests. The last test was done two months before, which is negative. But for the past six months, I am getting light periods with two days flow. I am worried. Please help me. Is there any chance of pregnancy?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I want to know the complete history of your periods. The number of pads required, amount of flow, and passage of clots, if any. Have you taken any emergency contraception? Is there any delay in periods?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
I use five pads, but pads are not fully saturated. I have taken no contraception, and there is no delay in my periods. Small clots are there (but not that heavy). My last period was five days back. And the period was on the same date every month.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The menses are all normal then. I guess no need to worry. Just have a check on the flow. Less blood flow may be due to some recent dietary change, some stress or excessive activity, or some weight loss or weight gain. If some weight issues are there, then let me know. Take care.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, due to this lockdown, I have gained some weight, like around 8 lbs. I experience hair fall too.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The less flow may be due to lack of physical activity; you are having the problem. Stay active and eat healthy food with lots of water. But if the problem increases and menses get shorter than the two days, then you need to get a hormonal evaluation done. Take care.
