A member asked:
I'm on bcp my period is very light and only lasts 1 day will this give me side effect and make me feel bloated in tummy area will it make me feelheavy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is common to have light periods on BCPs. It should not make you feel bloated or heavy. There is no side effect to getting lighter periods if it is from BCPS.
