This is my first month on birth control pills and i am on the 7 day break. i had a very light period, is this normal? only lasted 3-4 days

Exactly as expected: The periods you have during the 7 days off are normally very light and do not last as long as your normal periods. This is one of the great advantages of oral contraceptives! Things sound as if they are going perfect and as expected! Remember, sexually transmitted diseases are not prevented by the pill, so if unsure of partners history, still use a condom.
