Question

If my period last for 5 days and this cycle it only lasted for 4 days what does it mean?

Answer 1

It means that you just had a shorter cycle this time.  It's no biggie

Answer 2

You got a lucky get out of period jail free card.

Answer 3

The number of days of bleeding is not in any way related to your cycles or TTC. The vital thing is the number of days between cycles. Count CD1 as the first day of 'full flow' until the NEXT CD1 and you've got your cycle length. That's the important number, not how long you bleed for.

Answer 4

Absolutely nothing.  

Answer 5

Cycles can change up.  There have been times I had a longer cycle and the next month a lighter one.  Sometimes it can be prolonged when you do strenuous work ---  lifting heavy objects; etc.

Don't get concerned unless it doesn't come at all.

Answer 6

It means that instead of 5 days, this cycle was just 4 days.

Answer 7

its just irregular. it means nothing.
