I usually have a 5 day period. The flow being heavy on the first two days and then lighter on the third and fourth and ALMOST non existent on the fifth day. But this time I had a normal heavy flow on the first day but very light on the second and it's almost non existent today. What can be the reason?? is it normal?

I often go through the same cycle.
Yes it quite normal for 2 reasons.
One, Diet.
Two, cycle changing.
If you have eaten less meat through out the month, and lil foods (like red meat) that weigh heavy in the digestive system, chances are you body does not have much "excess" waste of blood dispose.
This means, your body used most of the blood and nutrients you provided within the "good" food that you gave your body.
A lot of times women suffer from bad periods and cramps, due to the food they've eaten, and not their body is trying to get rid of that "excess" waste.
Watch your diet and you will see, and be more in tune with what food does what to your body.

when i was in my teens i had typical 5 day periods. when i hit my 20s i started having my "dry" day... right in the middle of my period i have about 16 hours of nothing, no blood or anything, then i start again right where i left off... not sure why this happens but it's never been a problem and my doc says it's not uncommon to have stops and starts for a few hours right in the middle of your period. if you have any pain, strange discharge or your next period is unusually short see your ob/gyn.

Whenever I diet my days are shorter. What have you been doing differently is what you need to ask yourself. Sometimes medications have an affect. Or allergies or sickness.
