A member asked:

Is it normal to just spot once in the pill free week with no bleeding on the first month of the pill?was given bc for ovarian cysts.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Your periods will usually be light on the pill. It is perfectly normal. It is possible some months just to spot or even have no period at all. Of course, if you have no period at all, get a pregnancy test just to make sure you're not pregnant.
