Does the Pill Make Your Periods Lighter? Posted: 11-14-03 00:04am
I just started taking the pill this month
and I am having my period for the first
time since i've been on the pill. It
seems a little bit different...A little
bit lighter than usual and more red
instead of brown stuff (sorry I know
that's gross) but I was just wondering.
Thanks!

I am on my first period too while being on
the pill!! My period is lighter, less
cramping, and its very red instead of a
bit of brown like normally. I have the
same symtoms! I normally go for a week, I
started wednesday and I am already
tapering off!!

Yes ma'am it does get lighter. I was on
the patch and it was light. I was
surprised with it. But its because the
birth control takes control of the
hormones and regulates the period.
Without it they go wild! Lol. You should
be fine!
