Is My Period Suppose to Be Drastically Lighter When On Pill?
Posted: 07-26-07 10:33am

I've been on the pill for about three months now, (tri-cyclen lo) and I was just wondering if it is normal for my period to be DRASTICALLY shorter and lighter than before I was on the pill. During this third month of pills, I probably only bled for two days, each day being VERY light. I was just wondering if this was normal, or if I should get a pregnancy test or anything.

This is very normal when on the pill and is actually a desired side effect of the pill. As long as you are taking your pills like you are supposed to you shouldn't need to worry about pregnancy, especially since you did get your period. After four years of being on the pill my period ended up just being spotting the whole time.
