Shortened period
I’ve noticed that my periods have become shorter over the last few months. They used to last for 5 days, but now I mostly have bleeding only for 2 days. The first two days are normal, but from the 3rd day onward, there’s barely any flow and nothing at all on the 4th and 5th days.
I am sexually active and have taken the i-Pill (emergency contraceptive) four times in the last two years — the most recent was two months ago. After that, my period came 8 days late, and since then my cycle feels irregular.
Should I be concerned about the shortened duration and irregularity? Do I need to get any tests done?
