Light Period for second month in a row?

Hi guys!
Long time Scarleteen user here!
So, as the title suggests, I've had a very light period lately. I'll start off by saying that this month and last were very stressful. I worry a lot by nature. While my period last month did start on time according to my app, and lasted the same amount of time it usually does, it was LIGHT. I usually use thick pads but I was usually the ultra thin pads from always the whole duration of it!
Today, I got my period and I noticed it seemed very "dry" and it was very brown when I did change my pad a few hours later. My period will usually get heavier within just a few hours of it being light but so far, still seems kinda light.
My body doesn't feel different so I'm not sure if it's hormonal? I think I'd be able to tell if something was wrong but I'm not totally sure??
Thank you so much!

Hi hiim.maria,

Some variation in flow from period to period is normal, so as of now it doesn't sound like this is cause for concern. If your period ceases completely for a few months that would be a different issue, but a few months of light periods is nothing to worry about.
