You didn't say how old you are, which is important! This could just be a normal natural change in your periods as you get older, or it might be related to another factor. You seem to have ruled out pregnancy. Weight changes can also affect your periods, so if you have gained a lot of weight or lost weight that could have influenced your cycle. If you have an over- or under-active thyroid gland that can also affect your periods, so if you have been feeling very tired lately, had mood changes, felt irritable and on edge, or otherwise not been yourself, it might be a good idea to see your GP and have a blood test.
Other conditions that can affect periods, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, would usually also cause your cycle length to become erratic as well, which it doesn't sound as though you have.
Lighter periods if you are well in yourself are nothing to worry about - just enjoy them! See your GP if you have any other concerns.

Was the test for pregnancy? There are a lot of factors that influence your period. There might be a change in your diet, or activity level, or any number of things. I found mine changed when I took up yoga. Unless you have any other symptoms, you probably don't have anything to worry about. But if you are very tired, or have any pain, then get thee to a doctor.

It sounds perfectly normal to me. I have always only had about 2 days of flow, and then I spot for a day. I am guessing that you had always had heavier flow and it changed to a light flow. Some times stress and weight loss can be cause this. Hormone changes can also cause it. Hormones change with age. If you went to the doctor to get the test you refer to and it was normal I wouldn't worry about it.

Hormones are unreliable things. You may need to take some, but be careful of the side effects. I lived with irregular periods all my fertile life, birth control (with hormones) is the only thing that straightened them out, but the side effects made me sterile in the long run.
If your doctor says your are physically ok, then you live with it like the rest of us. And we ALL do!

There are a number of answers to this question. Sit down and make your self a list. Have you been exercising more? Weight loss, or more stress than usuall in your life. But just to be sure I would sit down with your doctor and speak with him about your concerns. I am sure everything is ok.

You don't mention your age or how long you've had your periods. As you get older they get shorter and less heavy. I started out very young (age 11) and they were over a week long and very heavy. Now in my mid 40's they're less than half that and very light.

i have exactly the same problem where on the first day it is gushing it down and 24 hours later there will be nothing. for me its been going on for about a year so i decided to go and see my doctor the other day and he told me i should consider going on the pill to help sort it out. i don't know about you but i get so physically tired that i cannot even sit up to eat or get up to go to the toilet without somebody to help me. visit your doctor
