A member asked:
Can birth control/contraceptives cause excessive bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Birth control pills actually can decrease mensutrual flow and occasionally result in no periods. During the first three months of use, breakthrough bleeding may occur. Evaluation by your gynecologist is appropriate.
