No two periods will be identical. But if you notice drastic changes in your period, mention this to your doctor. Drastic changes can mean a major increase in PMS symptoms, heavier bleeding, lighter bleeding, a significantly shorter period or a significantly longer period. Regularly missing periods is also something to bring up to your doctor.

Menstruation is nobody’s favorite time of the month, and it can generally be a messy, uncomfortable time. So, you might not take notice of these changes. It can be a good idea to keep a period journal where you note what’s normal for you – so you notice when things change.
