What Does It Mean When You Have A Light Period?

My period was really light. My belly was going bloated and I was getting notions for foods and drinks I never used to like. I had had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend without contraception. I done a home pregnancy test and it came back negative, so I never thought anything of it. But as the days went on I started getting morning sickness so I went to my GP. I done a test and waited for my results. They came back positive. Now I have a lovely son Jay. So if your period is very light, lighter than they usually are then go to your GP because some home pregnancy tests don't give you the right result. Janice x
