Can birth control cause your periods to stop altogether?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Sometimes when you've been on the pill for awhile, the lining of your uterus gets thin and your periods stop. If you've not missed pills, it's unlikely you're pregnant. It's not harmful, and it's not permanent.
