If..: If you are taking birth control pills this type of hormonal exposure can help relieve cramps associated with your premenstrual syndrome so I would say there is nothing to worry about; basically y they are ding their job However if you see you don't get your period if you are in a type of birth control that is supposed to allow you to have one then it is time to discuss it with your doctor.
