No, you don't get your period on [hormonal] Birth Control.

Hormonal birth control works by stopping your menstrual cycles so that you don't ovulate, and as you don't ovulate you also don't menstruate. The bleeding women experience on hormonal birth control such as the pill is a withdrawal bleed caused by a drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills. Withdrawal bleeds are meant to mimic menstruation but they're not the same.
