period changes through age without being on hormonal BC

Hi there!

I just have a question about changes within periods as you age. I can't be on hormonal BC so my periods aren't 'regular' as such. My cycle varies from 25-29 days. I've noticed over the past year my period start to change. I used to have 5 days of heavy bleeding with 2 days of brown bleeding. Now I have 2-3 days of heavy bleeding and 2 days of brown bleeding/spotting. I'm 25 and have been having periods since I was 11.
I guess a visit to the gyno is in order but I was wondering if anyone of a similar age to me is experiencing the same thing?

I don't think it means you need to see a gyno at all. I had a similar experience when I was 19 even though I hit puberty when I was 12. That's pretty normal!
