A member asked:
Started new pill 3 months ago. last month, had period for 2 weeks but light. now this month i have not gotten my period. what is causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: It's very common to have light periods or no periods on birth control pills. This is more likely on pills with a very low dose of estrogen (20 mcg). Switching to a BCP with 30 or 35 mcg of estrogen will often restore normal menstruation.
