Light menstrual period
My period is irregular. In april, I didn't get periods, in may I got periods but for only one day. This month, I had only spotting. I have been suffering from this problem for the past 3 years. Took USG scan and everything is normal. Doctor advised me to reduce weight as I m 60kg. Took USG scan again few months before. Everything is normal.what could be the reason for very light periods? I am afraid I cannot conceive because of this problem.

A few more tests should be done ( if not done already) thyroid profile, prolactin levels, FSH, LH, Estradiol, Serum fasting insulin on day 2 of your menses.
Your ultrasound can be normal, yet there might be underlying hormonal cause of irregular periods.

I think your dear is justified.but relax.have you listened to your doctor about weight reduction?the hormonal balance might not be normal and so the lining of the uterus is less and leading to less flow .but for conception you need ovulating cycles and many other things ,so don’t worry for all this now .

Weight reduction/lifestyle modification/diet modification/excercise is best treatment in such issues as 1st. line treatment!
Detailed history needed for further evaluation
If lifestyle modification fails,then comes the role of investigation and medication.
