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?
You shouldn’t be concerned. A normal
period can last from 3 to 7 days.
