light periods

I was on microgen 30 for about 6 years, my pack would run out on a thursday, my period would then start on the saturday night and finish on the thursday afternoon in time for me to start a new pack.
About a year ago I started on dianette (although I now have co-cyprindol, it depends which chemist I collect my prescription from as sometimes its this and others its dianette). My pack now runs out on a thursday and my period usually starts on a sunday afternoon and finishes on a friday afternoon.
I finished my most recent pack last thursday, my period should have started yesterday but only started at lunch time today and it is the lightest I've ever had. It doesn't even feel like I'm on and it is also really really dark. Any ideas why this could be? Could stress cause this?

Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. It could easily be stress or just your ovaries playing silly buggers.

I'd say if you don't have any other symptoms that are unusual for you, it's probably nothing to worry about. If you do, or it keeps happening, or you're worried, see your GP.
And Franki sorry that you're having heavy periods, they are not nice. Definately don't want to swap!
