Normal length for a period is put at 3-7 days by some and others 2-7 days.

What is really important that you should look out for is the REGULARITY of your period. Meaning you are sure that EVERY 26 or 28 or whatever days your period comes on.

Now if you noticed that the days of flow were longer than before now, then you should look at:

Your WEIGHT have u reduced ?

Your EATING are u eating right ?

Your general health no gastric ulcer ? No drugs? Etc

Further questions ?

Their are so many reasons the duration of your period could have been reduced, such as stress, change of diet or even a change of your sexual partner. I dont think their is any reason to be concerned. But to put your mind at ease you may want to consult with a physician.

a "normal" period can be anywhere from 18hours to 9 days.  bleeding for more then 10 days or a dramatic change in your cycle needs to be discussed with your doctor. 

not all women shed the lining of the uterus during menstruation.  these women who "recycle" their lining (endometrial sparing) generaly have periods lasting hours to 3 days and is very light

A simple measure like taking a blood tonic might be all you need to put your mind at rest.

Your body is an intelligent machine with several protective mechanisms. If for any reason your body stores of iron or other nutrients are low your body naturally limits the further loss thru menstruation. This is also the same for post-op and patients with bleeding ulcers.

Anorexia nervosa victims also experience a steady decrease in their monthly flow until it disappears all together. The normal flow resumes when they begin eating and gaining weight again.

So in the absence of any medical problems, check your eating habits and supplement with iron and see the difference.

Not every menstrual change is hormonal in origin.
