A member asked:
Does being switched to low dose birth control pills make a difference in your 'period'?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: It also depends on exactly which progesterone is used. Expect lighter showing of blood and small spotting of blood between periods. After a few cycles it is likely to continue light, but more regular and predictable.

Not really : Ideally you should be on low dose pill to prevent the side effects of high dose of estrogen ,it is mostly used for people who have heavy bleeding ,I mean high dose estrogen pill
