A member asked:
Being on birth control continuous for 9 m have caused cervix to close? i had no blood for 3 m/1 m bled/6 m no blood/then found out my cervix closed.

Cervix is not closed: Long term birth control may make your periods irregular, absent, or a combination. Lack of menses is a side effect of contraceptive pills, not because your cervix is closed for blood to flow.
