Periods suddenly short? Please help!

hello! I'm hoping someone can give me some insight on what might be going on... too long didn't read at the bottom 😊

some background im a 27 yr old female with no history of any cysts or pcos or histoty of pregnancy or anything (had an ultrasound done a few months ago for pain only to find out I could feel myself ovulating lol). Im not on birth control and my boyfriend and I use the withdrawal method. (Been together 6 years, currently living together, not ttc but ok if it happens kinda thing)

Ever since I first got my period its ranged anywhere from 5-7 days long. The first day always being light/medium flow, the next 2 or 3 days heavy flow, and the last few days are brown spotting.

The last 2 periods I've had have been really short. Last month was only 4 days long with 2 bleeding days (red in color) and this past period was only 2 days as well, the first day REALLY light and the second day REALLY heavy (couldn't use tampons, had to use a pad) and yesterday I had only slight spotting (brown in color) and so far today I have slight spotting as well but I only need a panty liner for it.

I have taken a pregnancy test (one of the dollar ones cuz they were sold out of name brand) and it came out negative.

Tl;dr my periods are normally 5-7 days long and my last two have been 4 days and 3 days respectively and I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. No health history to explain this. 😔

Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? Due to covid my doctor probably won't see me as im not in any pain.

Hi Krasivaya,
