how little can be your period if you´re on the pill?

My withdrawal bleeds are little more than some brown spotting over two or three days, not even enough to fill a tampon.  I use pantyliners instead.  It's normal.  Your pill is disigned to tell you rbody that it doesn't need to prepare the womb for pregnancy, so it doesn't build up much lining anymore - hence your periods get lighter.

Missing the pill will make your cycle start.  Just to be safe, I think I would contact my physician since it has lasted for so long.  Hope you get to feeling better.

I started my pills a week or so after my last period. My doctor said because I wasn't pregnant, it was okay to start whenever I felt like it. It eventually regulated my hormones so I got back on track anyway.

Why dont you try Seasonale. It is a new type of birth control pill that allows a woman to only have 4 periods a year. For more information speak to your OB/GYN and look at the oral contraceptive's web site. \n\nhttp://www.seasonale.com/

The antibiotics may have messed with your hormone levels (the birth control pills work by keeping the levels elevated) and weakened the effects of the birth control, that combined with missing a couple of days may have upset your cycle and made your body think it was time for your period. Give it some time and it should return to normal.

IF you are done with all of your green pills before your cycle comes on then you did to talk to your doctor. My cycle comes on during the 3rd or 4th green pill. As long as you take your pill every day then you have nothing to worry about. But I must warn you if you stop taking you pills in the middle of a pack you can be looking for your cycle for some months. I will never do that again 5 months later my cycle came back on I thought something was wrong with me.

Your period may become irregular after stopping the use of birth control. speak to your gyn about this though.

I have intentionally skipped a period on a few occasions using birth control pills. It's something no one should do often, and not without consulting your primary doctor or a gynecologist the first time you attempt to alter your cycle. Instead of starting to take the inactive white pill on the last week of the pill pack, you'd immediately start a new pack of active pills. Since there is no decrease in hormones, the body will not start its menstruation cycle. \nWomen with horribly unbearable periods are often on a regimen like this under the supervision of their doctors, where they will only have their period a few times a year. There is also a new birth control regimen available that accomplishes this same task, having a three month pill pack instead of a 4-week pill pack, allowing four periods a year. It is safe and effective (and there is no abnormally heavy flows when you finally do get your period), as long as you have the correct medical care and information. Personally, i can tell you its a wonderful resource when you really don't want to deal with bleeding, cramping, bloating, and changing for the month.

You can start on birth control pills whenever you want. However, here's how the intial protection works. If you start the pill on the first day of your period, you will have protection from day one. However, if you start at any other time in your cycle, you should use another form of contraception for the first seven days. This simply has to do with the way the pill works, in conjunction with how your cycle works.

8 days minimum is alot. I would go to the Doctor about it. They may suggest birth control pills for you to regulate your period. I would also eat more iron rich foods or take a supplement. We need the iron that time of the month.

Yes they do. I stopped having my period for about 8 months one time and when the dr. put me on the pill, my period returned to normal. The flow was lighter and I could always know when to expect my period to start.

YEs it's very, very normal not to have a period after a prolonged course of contraceptive pills, (providing you are using alternate birth control obviously!)\n\nIt can take the body up to 12 months to re-establish a regular cycle after being on the pill, try to enjoy the break from cramping, and don't worry - you know it only makes them later the more you worry!!\n\nIt is basically due to the 'artifical' periods you have when you are on the pill, which are induced and regulated by the hormones.  It just takes the body a while to settle down, and if you are lucky you might just have light spotting for a few months. \n\nTRY AND ENJOY!!

i've never heard of that or experienced it.  I've missed pills tons of times and never had that and ofcourse the next day you take 2 right, maybe if your close to your period when you miss and the menstration starts and then you stop it again your hormones get confused and like stuck maybe your cramps started and then stopped if your only a couple pills away from the white ones maybe just let the cycle flow that probly doesnt make sense to you because I never take the white ones there not anything anyways just sugar or something its just to keep you in the habit of taking the pills so to me i'm saying if your close just stop for the week if that makes sense.  Plus if your hormones are confused then it makes you kinda goofy otherwise it sounds pretty simple I think your fine just gotta get more in tune w/yourself Good Luck KIMBUR
