So ever since I was 13 I've been getting my period. And up until this year it was always exactly the same. Everyday would be pretty consistently heavy and then on the seventh day it would just stop.
Now though, it will come and on the first day it will be really light, the second and third it will be heavy, and then it will be done.

I'm just wondering if this is normal, or something I should check into.

Also my period always used to come a week late every month. Like one month I'd get it on the first, the next the seventh, the next the 14th etc etc. Now it always comes on the 24th. Should I see a doctor or just be grateful for the shorter periods? (link)
I don't think this is something you should worry too much about, for the first few years that you have your period it tends to be a little irregular. Now that your body's used to having your period it is becoming more regular. The only time you should worry is if you're not getting your period at all or if it's ridiculously heavy. It seems like yours is pretty normal. Though it wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor at your next appointment, I wouldn't stress in the meantime. Good luck!

:) thanks. It just weirded me out because I'm 20 now. I didn't know it took like 7 years to regulate itself. Haha
