I want to know what causes a light menstrual flow

Patient's question:

I am number 1 for the miscarriage. 23 days later, I had sex without breastfeeding, and then took emergency contraception. It was about 29 days, maybe because breastfeeding was successful, it seems like it went in again. 36 days later, my period came, but it was very light, only about half of what it usually is. I also have symptoms of anemia. Is this normal? Could I be pregnant? Based on the timing, my period came with less flow, and could I still be pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Miscarriage itself can cause the body to experience various physical discomforts (such as early or delayed periods, increasing menstrual flow, etc.), and birth control pills can also disrupt the menstrual cycle. Based on your condition, it is possible to experience the symptoms you described. If your period has indeed arrived, it is impossible to conceive. In the future, try to avoid taking emergency contraception pills, as one pill requires the kidneys to take a full year to metabolize completely. Adjust the symptoms of anemia.
Doctor's inquiry:
Hello, does your lower abdominal pain hurt? What color is your menstrual blood?
This is the answer to the question "Is it normal for menstrual flow to be light?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
