Is having an extremely light period on birth control normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Period and OCPs: Yes, it can be expected to experience some changes with your period when on birth control. It is usually expected to regulate your period but in some instances, or while your body gets used to them you may have irregular spotting as well which in most cases normalizes after a couple of months on them.
