A member asked:

Microgestin 1.5/30 21 days birth control does it get rid of a monthly period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: These days birth control doses are so low that periods may be very light, brief, or may not come at all! if you have taken the pills as directed, have not missed any, and pregnancy test is negative, start the next pack as scheduled. Hope this helps.
