Birth control pills: Birth control pills thin out the lining of the uterus which is the part that sloughs off in a period. Sometimes birth control pills make the lining so thin that you don't have any period. Sometimes the bleeding can just be spotting or occur after you are done with the placebo pills. Also, the pill is not fully effective in the first month and is not ever 100% effective. Take a pregnancy test

It varies: Most women start menstruating by day 3 or 4, but it can be later and occasionally menses are so light that it seems like it is missed all together. Keep taking the pills on schedule to maintain optimal contraception.
