For the past three months my period has only last hours. Like to the point I will only need one tampon or pad each time. I am not overly athletic so there is no chance I don't have enough body fat. Also I am a virgin so thats not it either. Any insight to my dilemma?

I have had my period for years, 9 to be exact and the past 2 years I have been very very regular.

Be thankful for small mercies. Seriously, are you on the pill? Maybe you just think you have enough body fat? Consult a Dr. if it persists.

It is not typical for a period to last only a few hours, but everyone is different. It sounds like you're spotting rather than actually getting your period. Since you're a virgin, it is also unlikely that you're pregnant. ;)
Doctors consider it abnormal if you don't bleed for more than six months, so if it continues for two more months then you may want to see your family doctor or gynecologist.
You mention that you're not athletic, are you obese? Obesity can stop periods just like being too skinny can, so that could be a reason.
Or, you could just have an irregular or very light flow and be lucky. If you are in your teens this is very normal.

How long have you been getting your period? In some girls it can a year or so once they start having their period until they get a 'regular' cycle. In any case you should check with you doctor, just to make sure there is nothing wrong.
