Congratulations - yes they do! As you head toward your 40s your body has a change in hormones that lighten and/or shorten periods, slow down the rate at which leg and other body hair grow, decrease under-arm perspiration and increase in sex drive once you get into your 40s. The down-side to this is that your skin also gets drier - no biggie - get some good moisturizer and enjoy the rest of it!

If you're worried see your doctor.
My periods always were two and a half days on, then a break and then another two and a half days but I would only have three, maybe four a year.
I was disgnosed with PCOS and when I started treatment, they went to five days every month. The treatment stopped working so the doctor took me off - I'm currently having blood tests to see if anything else will work (my eight plummeted by eight stones when I was taking the tablets - they stopped and it all went back on) but for the past year, although I've been having a period every month, they are only lasting one day. Sometimes just hours, I don't bother wearing any protection sometimes.

i think every woman is different...my mother went thru the change and hers was a nightmare...constant bleeding. be thankful. 2 days of bleeding is a blessing ! although ...your only 38 i would think you got a while to go before the change. couldnt hurt to talk to your dr about it when you go for your yearly check up.

Your body is changing and so will your periods.

Perhaps you are in the "peri-menopause" stage. You should see your gynecologist/doctor.
