A member asked:
What will your first period be on birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: If you are on an oral contraceptive pill or patch, you will get a period on your "placebo" week. If you are looking for lighter periods, it may take a few cycles on the pill or patch for them to lighten.
