The : The length of the period can change with fluctuations of hormones, which can be caused by various stressors on the body, and even by weight gain or loss. If it was very light or just spotting and you are at all concerned that you could be pregnant, then taking a pregnancy test would be reasonable. Some women after 45 start having shorter periods as well; i don't know your age.
