I take the birth control pill... like religiously. I have not missed any pills this cycle, stopped my pills when it was time, started to get symptoms of my period (mild cramps/moody), bled very lightly for one day and that was it. It’s supposed to be the 3rd day of my period but there’s just... nothing. I am sexually active with my SO but he always pulls out which I know isn’t the safest method, but we’ve never had a scare between both the pills and him.

I have had lighter and lighter periods since I started BC but never “missed” a period. I’ve taken a pregnancy test and it came back negative. Is this normal for BC users?

I do have a history of irregular periods and my last period came early. I’ve never had an issue with my periods since starting BC (over a year ago) but it is generally just a band aid issue for women with issues. I also have a family history of endometriosis but my doctor refused to investigate and instead just gave me pills 🙄

Thoughts?

I feel like my cycle is all messed up and I don’t know whether to wait or start he pills back up again. I hate being a woman sometimes.
