lighter periods as a teen

v

so I’ve had my periods since like the end of year 5 so about 11? And I’m now 18.

They’ve always been quite heavy (like using super pads and it’ll fill it up, using at least 3 pads a day). They last at least 3 days of heavy red bleeding.

Recently in the past few months, they’ve gotten significantly shorter and lighter, with the red lasting only 1-2 days. And heavy brown spotting before my period.

Has anyone had this happen? Could it be due to my hormones changing due to my age?
