A member asked:

I used to get my period for 7 days since taking birth control junel 1/20 its only 4 days is that normal ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It happens : Many women experience a reduction in duration or amount of flow after taking BC pills over time. I would not view it as a problem. If it troubles you or is linked to other issues discuss it with the prescribing provider.
