October my period lasted 4 days.november i missed my period.and now i think its my period but its a lot lighter than it normally be. what does it mean?

Uncertain: This could be just a normal period that is lighter, or it could be bleeding from a pregnancy. Checking a pregnancy test will help. The answer is even more unclear if you have irregular periods in the first place, but if the preg test is neg, wait and see what happens next month. If things aren't back to "normal", make a gyn appt.
