I've had my period for 3 years and it hasnt been regular.
My periods last for 8-10 days.
Last month I got my period on october 1st. I got it again November 3rd. Which leads me to believe they might be getting regular. But I have to wait until next month to find out.
Well it seems like my period is slowing down. It hasnt stopped but it just seems like its starting to stop. It's only been like 3 days. I wont know if its stopped until it stopped though.
but my question is,
Is it normal for a girls period to get shorter if it's becoming regular?

The periods thing is always difficult to measure coz it just doesnt have a start and end date. There is nothing normal about timeframes of periods.
Yep gurl it does happen. Your only wondering if its normal because maybe its never been so short on a regular basis befor, but it can be normal.
Remember every womans menstral cycle is different so there really is no normal.

Period changes are normal for girls and young women. It could be that you had a change in diet or became more active lately. If it's shorter and regular periods you want, you can take a soy pill or drink soy milk, which has a natural hormone in it.
It helped me a TON when I was getting my period for 2 weeks straight and again 2 weeks later.

Yes it's normal for periods to get shorter. when i first got mine they were 8 to 10 days and a few years after today mine are only 4 days.

My period became shorter and lighter as I've gotten older. I'm only 24 but I can remember having terrible and long periods from when I was a teenager up until a few years ago. My birth control may have something to do with it or it may just happen as you get older.

When first menstruating, periods generally are not very regular. They may not be regular until you marry and have children, even.
8-10 days is pretty long, so you 'd most likely want them shorter anyway.

some people are irregular and its ok but 8-10 days is pretty long in the first place so you probably want it shorter and if you are worried i would ask a doctor

this is ordinary. you're a teenager, is this ordinary for you- I recommend, have your different ones been longer, heavier, and so on? have you ever been in for a pap? Are you on any birthcontrol? those can substitute your cycle. from time to time rigidity can substitute your cycle. interior the 1st few years, it could selection alot formerly it setles right into a commonly used cycle...once you're fortunate adequate to have the mild ones...Yay for you! one in each and every of my daughters did not get cramps (in any respect) for the 1st 5 years. Her 2 sisters concept that fluctuate into unfair! anybody is diverse.

A way to shorten periods is birth control pills. Periods are really unpredictable sometimes.
