My period is lighter and shorter than usual , i haven't had any other weird thing going on can my body be changing or is it something else?

Cycle variation: What you experience may just represent normal variation of the strength and length of your cycle, it's just that it hasn't happened to you before. There could be a permanent change in your cycle pattern going on, too. But if this is all there is, no reason to worry.
