Hello. Yes. Birth Control pills make your period shorter, lighter and less painful.
birth control will lessen the number of days you have your period because your body believes it is pregnant even though you are not. talk to a physician or go to a womans clinic to have a pregnancy test done if you believe you may be but chances are you are not. p.s. be more safe with your body

Hormonal birth control works by shutting down your menstrual cycle so that you no longer ovulate, and thus because you don't ovulate you also don't menstruate either. The bleeding women experience on the pill is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills. As the pill also prevents secondary uterine lining build-up as a back-up means of preventing pregnancy it means it can be lighter than a menstrual bleed.

Taking a birth control pill will not stop you from getting your period. It might make your periods shorter and lighter. There is a pill out there that makes it so your body only gets four periods a year, but I wouldn't recommend it. Your body does things for a reason, and 12 periods a year is more natural.
