Periods shorter and lighter..

.. But still as regular as clockwork!
I’ve gone from 7 day extra heavy periods to 3 day light ones over the last year. I’m 50 soon and have had other peri symptoms for years. Could the end be nigh or is it just wishful thinking?

No 16 day flooding marathons, then? Lucky you!

Same for me, OP. I’m 48 and still have regular periods, but they’re shorter and lighter. I’m hopeful! 🤞

@EBearhug Thankfully not, I paid my dues to them in my teenage years.

Mine, too. I’m 46, and went through the clotting periods when I was 39/40. Now, they last for 2-3 days, and are light. Is this what usually happens before they stop completely? Just started weight gain, too.
