A member asked:
Why does my period stop and start? im on low dose birth control pills. its been lighter periods lately too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Low dose bcp's" can cause very light bleeding during the "placebo week", but if taken punctually, one hour after the prior day's active pill, and the next pack is started at the end of the seven days of the placebo pills, the contraceptive effect is preserved.
