I am 41 and when I was your age and younger my period would last 5-6 days and be real heavy the first 3 days. Now it's medium flow the first day and light for the next 3 days. My periods now run 3 to 4 days. I know my mom went through menopuase at age 46. Are you overweight? I ask because last year before I started to loose weight my peridos were so heavy I thought I was hemorrhaging. I had a D&C lost 52 lbs so far and my periods got back to normal just after a couple of months of loosing weight last year. Sometimes being overweight can make your periods irregular.
I am 27. My periods keep getting shorter. About four months ago I was having my periods last 4 good days, but each month that has passed I have lost a day so last month I only had it 1 good day and the 2nd day was a spot or 2 and that's it.. Does anyone know why this may happen? Please let me know thank you.
I'm 35 and finishing my period now. I got it on Nov 24, today is Nov 26th and it's just about over. This is not my normal cycle. Why is this happening? Is it because of my age? And should I contact my gyn?

Every woman is likely to have some cycles when the flow varies in amount or duration. At 35, it would not be unusual to start having some cycles in which ovulation does not happen. Those cycles may be shorter or longer (counting from day 1 of one cycle to day 1 of the next), of shorter duration, and of lighter flow.
For now, you could just keep a calendar of your cycles for the next three months or so and see what happens. Record when each period starts and the amount of flow for each day. Write it down.
Hi, I am 32 years old. I am married for around 3.5 years and so we thought of planning for a baby around 4-5 months back. Due to the age, we thought of consulting a gynae. I met her on the 10th day of my MC. She told me to have folic acid tablets and couple of others. I took the medicines for around a week but then while searching over the internet, I found on a web page that one of the other tablets she suggested must be avoided if you are trying to conceive.So I stopped taking them. Later that month, I had my MC on a regular cycle of 25 days with normal flow.
But after that normal MC, I had my AF twice and both started on 21st day of cycle. Moreover, the flow is not normal like before and only lasts for 2-3 days max with dark red/Brown light spotting and then little bit of small clots on day 2 and day 3 again very light. I am very confused since I want to conceive ASAP but not succeeding.

Thanks for reading all through this.
What is the name of the "other tablet"?
It may take a healthy couple a year to conceive, although some fertility evaluation may be in order if you are over 30 and do not get pregnant within 6 months of trying.
Are you counting your cycle length from the first day of flow to the first day of flow? Not the end of one bleeding episode to the beginning of another.
What do you mean by "AF"?
What did you use for contraception before you started trying to conceive?
