Follow up with Dr. : Your birth control may not be working, depending on which one you are using. You should follow up with your doctor to discuss this and see if you need to change to a different form or brand, etc.

OCP and period: It may be normal for you to have heavy, light or no bleeding on birth control pills. The amount of bleeding relates to how thick the uterine lining develops on the pill. If this is your first time on the pill, it may take some time for your body to adapt. I would monitor the cycles to see if it persists. If it does, you may need to change the type of pills you are using.
