Been on bc for 3 mths, prd starts 3rd inactive day, pills taken correctly.. its 3rd day, but very light prd, w/cramps is it start of my prd?

Sounds normal: Periods on the pill can be very light, and can even disappear over time, the longer you're on the pill. Some cramping is normal, even if the flow is light. The period can start at any point during the placebo pills, but the third day is average.
