Laura Mendoza said:It isn’t exactly normal if you’ve been on them for seven months already. Look, it’s definitely possible for your period to lighten up while you're on birth control, but if what you’re seeing is really more like discharge than actual bleeding, it wouldn't be a bad idea to mention that to your gynecologist.

I’m definitely going in for a checkup, but I'm just searching for some kind of explanation before the panic really starts to set in! A friend told me she hasn't had heavy periods since she started her pills, but what I'm dealing with right now... I can barely even call it a period!
Could it actually be the pills? My doctor put me on Trinovum—without doing any prior testing—which is in the same league as Diana... and honestly, you don't see people on Trinovum very often! People say they are "strong"!!

I find myself wondering if I’m the only one navigating this particular uncertainty, because I felt a genuine wave of anxiety wash over me today... ever since I started taking birth control about seven months ago, I’ve only experienced a truly normal period once; every other month, it seems to be nothing more than some sort of light discharge instead. Is this actually typical when you're on the pill?! I try to be incredibly diligent about my schedule, though I must admit that occasionally I miss my window and end up taking it a few hours late. Could it be that these specific pills simply aren't the right fit for my body?! Does anyone have any insight into this?*?!?
