Changes in Period?

Has your period changed as you've gotten older?

I used to have a light day the first day and then heavy days for a couple of days and then another light day towards the end of my cycle. I recently turned 30 and now I get about three days of spotting and then it gets really heavy. It's has concerned me a little.

I'm only 24 so I can't really answer that, but my mom's has always been really heavy. I think usually the only time it changes is when you have a diet change or change in your stress levels. Obviously I'm not a doc, though. Go to webmd.com. They have answers on everything, and they're reliable.

I'm almost 30 and I've noticed some changes as well. Don't know if it's just because I'm more aware. Though any major changes should be discussed with your GYN asap.

It's just hormones. My periods have changed from heavy to light throughout the years, but my gyno says that's completely normal. I think as long as you are still having one every month... you're good

yes, I used to have what I call the perfect period 4 days and light. Now I get gut wrenching cramps, it spotting at first then its heavy for a good 5 days and the spotting can last any where from 2 days to 4 days. Anything medically wrong with me to cause it, No(Gyn checked it off) just stress.

Since I've turned 30, my period has gotten really, really light. Someone mentioned to me that it might be a side effect of too much time on birth control. My doctor doesn't seem concerned by it at all but I'm still a little freaked out.
