Hello, i switched to loestrin 20 after taking rigevidon. on rigevidon, my periods were pretty heavy at least for one day. this first month on loestrin my period has been very very light, almost like spotting. is this normal? thanks in advance.

Probably normal: Usually on low dose birth control pills most women have lighter periods and less flow. Some women could even have no periods and that would also be normal on low dose pills.
