Yes. it can do a number of things, you might call your doctor if it is not acting normal.
There is no medical reason that women need to have monthly bleeding and many women take BCP just for the side effect of not having a monthly cycle or having one that is very light. Once you stop taking the pill your period will return, usually in the first month of being off the pill.
Unless you are taking a pill that is designed to stop your period, (the type that has 4 weeks of "active" hormones vs 21 days of hormones and 7 "sugar pills") most women do not stop having their period within the first month of taking oral contraception.
If you missed any pills, or didn't use back up protection for the first 7 days, taking a pregnancy test would be a good step, to rule out any possibility of pregnancy. If the test is negative - just relax. The BCP are working!

Will you have a normal period the first month you get off birth control?
It's very unlikely that you'd have a normal period the first month off birth control (I'm assuming by 'birth control' what you actually mean is the combination pill - please don't use these terms interchangeably, there are many forms of birth control!). Your first 'period' will be your withdrawal bleed as normal, but after that it may take a few months to get a real period again. It can also take up to 12 months for your cycles to regulate again once you stop using hormonal birth control.
If i started my period on Thursday and i am starting birth control for the first time this Sunday when should i expect my next period?
You will begin your period the next month as usual, except more on target. you are supposed to start the birth control the first Sunday after you get your period, so you are doing it right.
Why would I have my period twice in a month and on birth control?
Birth control can cause this to happen don't worry
Do you get your period every month if you are on birth control?

Can you get pergnent from only taking birth control pills twice in just one month alone?
can you get pergnent if you took birth control pills only twice last month then had your period but had unprotected sex after your period will you get your period the next month??
Is it normal to get your period twice a month when you first start taking birth control?
Yes birth control changes your cycle causing your body to have to adjust to the birth control after a few weeks it should become a normal schedule.
Can you change the time your period comes the following month?
You can change the time your period comes the following month if you are on certain types of birth control. For example, finishing a pack of birth control pills early will make your period come earlier the next month.
Should you talk to your doctor if you do not get a period at all during your first month of use of the pill?
If this is your first month on birth control and you have not missed any pills, then see your Doctor. If you have missed pills or took too many pills, then this is why your period hasn't arrived. A period not arriving during the first month of birth control is not uncommon and can be due to your body becomming used to the medication or pregnancy. If you had unprotected intercourse during the first month of taking birth control then I would recommend you perform a pregnancy test.
You were on birth control for one month and off for a month Now you have missed a period what cause this?

Does birth control affect your period?
It shouldn't if you take it properly. Birth control can be used to make your period more predictable & controlled. For example, I prefer my period at the beginning of the month because I expect it then. Mentally I just know new month, period is coming.
I just stared birth control and now im on the 4th week where you take no pills for seven days to get your period but i have been waiting for four days but havent got your period yet i Know im not preg?
When you first start taking birth control, your period may arrive or it may not. Its different in every woman. If your period doesn't arrive this month then don't worry as its a common occurrance in the first month of birth control. Continue taking your pills as normal.
After starting birth control how long does your first period last?
It depends on the type of birth control. Sometimes after starting it, it could be longer than normal, and sometimes it will disappear the first month. Sometimes it will be normal, and sometimes is will be shorter.
