Shorter period: Any change in your period can be because you are pregnant so you should always do a pregnancy test. If the test is negative, this may only be temporary. It problem continues forr 3 months or more, see your doctor. Over the average of 40 years of menstruation, you are bound to have a "wierd" cycle here ; there. Tubal ligation will not change your period.
