My periods were heavy and about 6 or 7 days for years now but since july my periods have been shorter and lighter than normal is this normal to happen?

Maybe: Period flow can change with age, birth control, hormonal balance as well as stress. This may be completely normal for you. Monitor it for a while longer and if the trend is the same, then that's your new normal. If it changes, you may want to speak with your doctor about getting your hormones checked.
