I've taken apri for 6 yrs w/o a problem and my periods were timely. the last 2 months i was late and not as heavy. i'm still on bc. what's going on?

That's okay: You're on the birth control pill. The pill is in charge and triggering your menstrual cycle not your body. You're not really late because you're on the pill. The periods suddenly become lighter is a good thing.
