Cycles can change: As you age you can see changes in your menstrual cycle. However things that can be concerning about a change in cycle would be ectopic pregnancy. So it would be helpful to take a pregnancy test or go see your doctor to ensure this is not an issue. Your cycle being regular just lighter makes it less likely a problem. Stress, thyroid problems, diet and weight changes can also affect your cycle.
