The most important thing is that you are ovulating. As long as you're ovulating, it doesn't matter how long or short your period is, you can get pregnant.

unlikely! my periods ever since they began where only 2 to 3 days long and ive now got 4 kids!!!! and after my last one they have gone for 4-5 days, which i hate! hopefully they go back to short and sweet!

my periods have always lasted around 3 days and have never been painful, i have 6 children and have always fallen pregnant very easily, so i'm not sure, but i know it dosn't make any difference for myself.

After I had my first 2 babies, straight after each other, I found that my period was basically non existent for about 10 years. Only had a little dribble and that was it. However, I did fall pregnant one night after I had a car accident and was so stressed I didn't take my pill. That was it, baby on the way.

So the length of the period shouldn't have a direct result. However, it seems that you are a little on the worried side, so go to your doctor and have it checked out. Your bub is only 5 months old so it does take a while for the system to get back into its own routine.

i agree with mony, i know that having very irregular periods can affect your ability to fall pregnant but having a shorter period could mean you either already are, or you have been active (e.g. running around or exercising more than usual?)

in my opinion it cant. unless its an ongoing thing you might want to check it out wtih your doctor. iv always had a light period but this month it was extra light. bled for half a day then stopped. then the next day same again and that was it for the whole month.

on the other hand..... you could already be pregnant. i know i did that with each of my babies when i concieved. give it a few weeks and take a test. good luck :)
