I notice that some months my montly bill (you know, Aunt Flo), is very light. I usually get it for 7 days but not heavy. Some months, however, more recently I will get it for 3-4, where the first two days are heavy and then light after that. I am not preggers! Should I be worried?

No. My cycles have changed with age and hormones levels. Totally normal.

Ok good. I was sort of shocked this month, with only 3 days, not that Im complaining, but it is sort of not normal for me.. and I am not preggers at all.

I've noticed this recently for me as well. I did a lot of research on it b/c I was freaking out that I might be pregnant but apparently the pill can have this effect on some women over time and it might be a sign you need to switch to a stronger pill.

i have noticed that i have different periods...one month super long suer heavy. next month lighter and not so long. so i don't know if it has to do with which ovary and the hormones...im just glad when the short and light one comes to visit...LOL

I agree pink hearts.. I love the shorter lighter ones too.. it just had me worried. I will ask the doc at next visit just in case.. but I'm sure it is ok.
btw.. am not on the pill.
