What is the cause of low blood flow during periods?
I have been noticing that for the past 4-5 months my period has been off. I do get it on time but if one month is normal the next month is low blood flow and it will get back to normal the following month and after that low again. This month especially it is low or more like spotting. I can't really call it period but couple of days before the period I had symptoms that are associated with your period too, back ache, sore breasts etc. I am also on Birth Control Pills. What could be the reason? Is it normal to have low or no blood flow during periods?

blood flow is the result of your uterus shedding its nutrient lining after preparing for childbearing.
birth control reduces this lining, causing lighter periods.
did this irregularity start before or after you started birth control?
if before, then this is just a part of your natural cycle.
if after, then your body is adjusting to the pills. eventually your periods should all be consistent, light ones.
