With PCOD already in the picture, a lighter flow lasting just two to three days is a common pattern. Your weight and the hormonal swings PCOD causes both play into this, and medicines for mood or anxiety can sometimes affect your cycle too. This isn't usually dangerous on its own, but it does need a proper hormonal workup rather than a fixed medicine to increase flow.
Next Steps
Ask your gynaecologist for a pelvic ultrasound and a hormone panel, including thyroid and prolactin, to see what's driving this. Weight management can also help regulate PCOD cycles over time.
Health Tips
See a doctor sooner if your periods stop completely for several months, or if you notice new hair growth or acne worsening.
