Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Monitor: If only period is longer or shorter, lighter or heavier period from time to time this is pretty normal. Every. Doesn't have to be exactly the same. I would monitor your cycles over the next few months and see what they are like. Birth control is great at regulating menstrual cycles.
