Dawn , I am 44 almost 45 and the same thing happened to me. 24 days I went on Birth Control and messed up and have had a period 3 times this month so went off them again. I will see if they are still shorter... That is so weird that mine were 24 days also. Almost the same age also... Diana

HiYa! Ok..I guess Im the oldest at 49 - before surgery - always got mine like clockwork- every 28/29 days and heavy..and doctor told me- that as we get older- it morphs thicker .. BUT since surgery - I am still on schedule- sort of- it goes from 25/29 days and its shorter duration and 2 days heavy and 2 days almost non existent..so I dont know what to make of it.. And my doctor also mentioned- that obesity extends your period due to all the hormones regulated by the fat cells - and it prolongs a woman going into menopause.. if that helps anyone figure this out Oh- and Im not using any birth control- I wanted to wait till I got my iron numbers in order & Im single, but I am LOOKING!!

Hey Dawn! I am kind of irregular now too, however, before my surgery I had already started this. I seem to have my period every other month...it is not as long or heavy post-op, THANK GOD!, but it is worrisom that it is irregular. I am seeing my gyno next month and I am going to have my hormone level checked (I am 44 now), and I also had a cyst last year on one of my ovaries... Take care! Nancy
