What exactly does it mean if you miss your period on birth control sugar pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OCP and period: It may be normal for you to have very light or no bleeding on birth control pills. The amount of bleeding relates to how thick is the lining gets on the pill. This is influenced by the type of medications in the pill, your weight, how active you are, other medications you are taking, and whether you miss any pills.
