Brief Answer:
Normal flow.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is normal to have a flow of two days if its the usual pattern and comes regularly on scheduled date.
The usual flow duration is 2-7 days and amount is 20-80 ml in each cycle.
So your duration and flow both are in normal range so nothing to worry.
In case it decreases further or there occurs prolonged cycles then get a prolactin levels tested in blood.
Take care. In case you have other questions you can contact me directly on http://bit.ly/drmanishajain.
