Why does missing birth control pills cause bleeding?
When taking birth control pills the bleeding you get each month is withdrawal bleeding and not a "regular" period that comes on its own. So when you miss a few pills the withdrawal from them starts up the bleeding. The steady hormones in the pill keep the uterine lining thin. When you skip the pill for a few days, the pill hormone levels go way down (it takes the body about 24 hrs to eliminate the hormones in one pill). This withdrawal of pill hormones destabilizes the uterine lining and you get spotting/bleeding [thus, the name: withdrawal bleeding].

Do taking birth control pill make your menstrual come on?
The "period" women experience while on birth control pills is not truly a "period" in the natural sense. Naturally, when a woman is not on hormonal birth control, the uterus builds up the endometrial lining to prepare for a possible fertilized ovum to implant onto the uterine wall after ovulation that will begin developing into a fetus. However, hormonal birth control methods prevent ovulation. They also prevent the endometrium from building up as much as it normally would (which is why most women experience lighter periods while on the pill). So when you begin taking your placebo pills, you're actually having withdrawal bleeding because your body is missing the hormones its been supplied the last 21/24 days. As long as you have been taking your pills/hormonal birth control as prescribed, you are just as protected from pregnancy during your placebo days than as any other day of your pill pack.
