Can Birth Control Change Your Period?!


Question: Can Birth Control Change Your Period?
Ever since I changed to the generic brand of marvalon (my medical wont pay for name brand) my period has slowly changed. It has gotten later and later for it to come and i have much less and shorter period. Any ideas? No Im not pregnant.

Answers:

You have no idea how your reproductive system works, do you?
The "period" you have on birth control is not a period. We define a real period as your uterus shedding its blood-rich lining and that month's egg. When you go on birth control, you stop the hormonal signals that would tell your body to thicken the uterine lining and release an egg. No egg, no fertilization, no pregnancy.
The bleeding that you experience when you're on BC is just a matter of your body reacting to the new hormones that you put into the system. This bleeding is not a period and it is normal for it to be much shorter and lighter than the real thing.
