question about my period

okay so last month i got my period but it was very light but i was on birth control so it could have been light from that. this month when i got my period i was bleeding regularly but then it stopped after only 3 days.

i had stopped birth control last month but i didn't have sex until i started the new one at my last period, but i waited a week so i should be good.
but i thought that maybe the new birth control made my period shorter, is that possible?
i was getting kind of worried but i don't have any pregnancy symptoms. well i had all the pmdd symptoms which are like pregnancy symptoms but after that i have been fine.

so could it just be the birth control shortening it?

" I've been on and off of birth control. I've also used different methods such as the pill and shot. I found with the pill that my periods were lighter and shorter. A regular period for me would last 7 to 10 days without being on the pill vs. being on the pill it would be 3 to 5 days and the flow would be lighter. it's possible for this to happen, if you have any questions contact your doc. - good luck!

" i know my doctor told me that before.
but i haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, and i'm supposed to start my period soon so i will know.
but i read that yaz can change periods a lot, so i'm not really worried anymore. "
