Period Question... may be TMI

So the other day I started my period and it seemed normal. Then yesterday it was really light and now my period is gone. I usually have my period for 5 days or more. I am on birth control so it is always at the same time. Does anyone know why it was only two days? Is this normal?

That is weird. I had some periods that were waaaay long and others that were shorter since going back on BC. I'm guessing that things are still getting settled after DS. I felt the same way though - I figured BC would make everything regular all the time but I think after a baby, nothing is the same. I don't know if it's "normal", but it's happened to me too, so you're definitely not alone.

I am glad I am not the only one. I am a worrier so I had all the horrible possible problems going through my mind. haha.

When I was on BC before DS, my periods were super light and 2-3 days long.  Now they last for 5 days.  Same BC.  My doctor says it is normal that they can change in length.  So enjoy that short period.
