My periods have been getting lighter and shorter every month for the past few months. could it be due to stressing about my period every month? virgin

Short light periods: Short light periods are usually viewed as a positive change. Most people prefer them to long heavy periods. If you would like more control over your cycle then there are many birth control options that can be used to manipulate the cycle.
