I've had breakthrough bleeding before my period 3 months in a row.then my period doesn't come after.is this normal after a yr on the pill?

Yes: It is very common to have severe reduction in bleeding volume when on the OCP. That is a major indication. Regarding the timing, try not taking any of the sugar pills for the next 3 months and see what happens.
