Scanty periods
Hello Doctors,
Greetings and thankyou to all of you here for your service. I am 39 yrs old unmarried female. For the first time in my life I am experiencing scanty flow. I massaged my pelvic region too then a little flow came out. Like the period blood is dry n flow mix... Little flow...My cycle is 28 to 32 days. I got my periods three days before my cycle today. It's the first day and I can't see so much flow. Also there is no cramping at all. My height is 5.4 and weight is 48. My latest HBA1C is 4.5. I have never been diabetic. HB is 13.5 and my thyroid levels are normal. Pls address the issue .. Is it I am heading towards menopause? I am planning to get married too .. Why this is happening??? I am under too much stress. Pls advise what needs to be done. Your input would be appreciated.
Thank You

This is the first time in your life that you experienced such scanty period and that too before the due date. And it is the first day of the period.
Please wait for some time. Let you have your periods for 3-4 days. The flow might improve. If it doesn't we will have to do lot of hormones related investigations and proceed further. I don't want to hurry up everything.
