Q: Unusually Light Period
asked by: orthogirl on February 7th, 2007

Okay, so for the past month i've been taking my pill at the exact same time, every single day.. But i've been having unprotected sex regularly and was really anxious about my period coming on. Well, it came on at about the right time ( 3rd sugar pill ) but, it seems to be unusually light. Is there any chance that I could be pregnant being that my period is on? Or could it be spotting? Please help.

The period you get on brith control is not a 'real period', it is actually a 'withdrawal from hormones" bleed.

It is 100% normal to have lighter than usual periods while on hormonal bc methods.
