[on the ground i lay, motionless in pain, i can see my life flashing before my eyes.
did i fall asleep, is this all a dream. wake me up. i'm living a nightmare. i will not die, i will survive.
]

      i normally have a heavy period, where i'm on painkillers specifically for menstrual pain, prescribed to me by my doctor. my period usually only last 4-5 days because it's so heavy too.

      so i had al my PMS signs, mood swings, chocolate crave, sushi crave, tender breasts ...

      and i THINK i started ... but that's just the weird part.

      last night it was a very very very pale pink-ish bleed.
      this morning, it's a very very very light brown.

      the reasons that follow isn't why i'm too worried;
      past two days, i haven't eaten a whole lot.
      thursday-sunday of last week, i had a lot of junk food.
      thrusday-sunday of last week, i didn't get a lot of sleep because i stayed in my sister's apartment for the first time.
      i've started to work out a LOT ...

      but yes, ultimately, i'm sexually active, and he uses condoms.
      i'm not actually worried i'm pregnant, i just want to know, is it normal to get periods that are completely opposite [given the reasons]?

      i'm almost 17 and i've had my periods for about 4 years now.

Yes, periods can sometimes deviate from what is normal for you. So girls with light periods may have a heavy month every once in a while, and girls with heavy periods may have light months every once in a while.

Sometimes there is no apparent reason for the change, but other times it was brought on by diet or stress. Sounds like both of those issues could be a factor for you right now. Try to stay relaxed and eat healthy food.

Since you are sexually active, you could take a pregnancy test now so that you can rule that out.

You already seemed very well informed and comfortable with your body's actions. I wouldn't worry about one light period heart
