A member asked:
I have just recently started birth control due to a hormone imbalance, my periods would become lighter you think?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In several months: In addition to helping prevent unintended pregnancy, birth control pills have a number of non-contraceptive benefits. One of these benefits is a lighter and shorter cycle. This may take several months to develop.
