Short periods common: Yes, birth control pills can make your periods very short - or even make you not have periods. Just be sure you are not pregnant. Some women who don't have periods on the pill take a pregnancy test just to make sure! you may come to appreciate the shorter, more predictable periods. Good luck. Lgromkomd.
