A member asked:
I am on aubra for the last 16 months. my periods normally last 3-4 days and are very normal, but for the last 2 months, they've been extremely light?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: Yes this is normal. Birth control pills (BCPs) have higher progesterone effect than estrogen. Not only do they prevent you from ovulating but they also prevent your uterine lining from building. This will make your periods lighter especially over time. Your cramping should also be less. It's important to try to take the BCP around the same time every day to maximize effectiveness.
