A member asked:
Can skipping the last 3 pills of your birth control before the sugar pills make your period lighter?

Get a test: It can make your period lighter but if you're sexually active it can also mean you might be pregnant. Get a pregnancy test and check it out to be sure, since knowing early is important.
