A member asked:
I have been on the pill for several years and my periods are either very short and light or non existant. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This is common because the pill thins the lining of the uterus. At period time, there is not much to shed to produce much bleeding. Many women consider this an advantage of the pill. Once you stop the pill, heavier period returns.
