Normal periods Posted: 05-20-08 11:48am


I keep track of my cycle diligently. My cycles is about 25-27 days with my period lasting 7 days. My last period started 3 days late which started off normal but then became a very light flow, no pad or tampon needed. Then it ended 2 days early. I know stress can be a factor but I've never had a period less than 7 days long. Should I be concerned?
