What is meant to happen with periods?

I’ve been taking progesterone for 14 days (vaginally) combined with an oestrogen patch for 2 months now. Prior to starting I had regular periods which were heavy for two days. Now they start a day or so after stopping the progesterone and are very light.

Is this what is meant to happen? Can I expect it to just continue like this?
