A member asked:
I am on bc pills and this cycle was lighter than normal but not shorter. no other symptoms but occasional minor cramp in back. pregnant?

Probably not: You can find out by doing a pregnancy test, but if you take your pills as prescribed, you will probably not conceive. It is normal and quite expected for the periods to become lighter when taking the pill.
