Thankfully my periods and PMS have also gotten milder as I got older. Definitely shorter, and usually the worst pain only comes in waves of maybe one or two hours. Although last month was pretty bad - a whole day of bad cramps to the point of just lying in my bed all day and wanting to cry.

But what I've noticed in the last six months or so is that my ovulation has turned into period light I never even used to feel it at all but now I get pain, bleeding and nausea definitely feel crappy for a day or two, maybe three. Maybe also increased sense of smell (which is no fun when you're already nauseous!)
