You usually get your period when you start taking the sugar pills, but you can miss your period on the Birth Control pills for a number of reasons:

  • Bleeding is supposed to be lighter when you are on the pill and last for a shorter period of time. Sometimes bleeding can be so light that it's absent or unnoticable. Some women find this helpful, and others find it disturbing. It is not dangerous, but if you find it stressful, talk with your health care provider about a possible pill change.
  • Some birth control makes you have your period 3 or 4 times a year. If you don't know, do some research about your birth control or ask your health care provider.
  • Not getting your period could obviously mean pregnancy. If you've missed pills, or if you have symptoms of pregnancy, take a home pregnancy test.
  • If you threw away the placebo pills (sugar pills) and started your next pack immediately, skipping your periods is normal.
  • If you're on the progesterone-only pill (e.g. Micronor or Nora-B), not having withdrawal bleeding is normal.
  • There's no danger in starting the pill for the first time in between period, but it might increase the risk of having no withdrawal bleeding at the end of the first pack.
  • If you missed a pill or two and then doubled up, you can have a late or missed period, even though you did the right thing.

To be accurate, you do not have periods while using combined birth control pills; instead, you have a withdrawal bleed because you're no longer putting the hormones in your body.
It shouldn't it should just regulate it.

Birth control pills help women in other ways like to prevent pregnancy, and also can make some hormonal changes which can make delay in your periods. Some of them can get lighter bleeding, and some of them get the entire menstrual cycle delayed.

If you find any issues, then you can consult your doctor.
