A member asked:
Can the blood after taking birth control count as a period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: At the end of the pill pack, the bleeding that occurs on the placebo pills is your period. Technically speaking, it is an artificially induced period, called a withdrawal bleed, but yes, it's your period.
