My birth control pill loestrinfe causes me to only have my period at night is this okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: Birth control pills often cause periods to be lighter. Time of day doesn't matter. Be sure to take the pill consistently, same time of day every day if you want them to have a failure rate of <1%. Typical use ( including missed pills ) failure rate is ~9%.
