It sounds like you were mostly estrogen dominant which is why you have had heavy periods, but as you are getting closer to your 30's you might be slightly progesterone deficient, which is why you aren't shedding your lining as much and are having lighter periods. I would recommend some hormone balancers: DIM specifically is my go-to supplement for this problem. I also like calcium-d-glucarate and chaste berry extract. Good luck!
Can understand why you would be concerned. First if any chance you're pregnant please do a test now. Then if negative, wouldn't do anything unless this persists more than 3 months. Menstrual variation, even after all these years can happen and most reasons are transient and will resolve spontaneously.
Also if your heavy periods return you may want to speak to your gynecologist as there are options to make them lighter so they are less disruptive to your life.

Has there been any change in your weight or in how you feel? A full history is important to determine if this is just a light month or if there are some medical conforms causing it. Did anyone in your family have thyroid problems?
Keep track of your next 3 periods and if it varies, is absent, or heavier than normal, then see your doctor.
I'd recommend a home pregnancy test just to be sure that this isn't bleeding in early pregnancy.

Variation is quantity and duration of menstrual flow is normal. You are not a "machine" so every cycle is not the same. Oral contraceptives will make you bleed less, have less cramping on your periods and enhance cycle regularity. Give pills some consideration so smooth out the peaks and valleys.
