It would help to know what type of birth control you are using. However, any type of hormonal contraception will affect your periods. In most cases, periods are much lighter and shorter in duration. Also, it usually takes about three months for your body to adjust to the new hormone levels. During this adjustment period, you are very likely to experience some menstrual irregularities. These irregularities may include missed periods, breakthrough bleeding (bleeding in between periods) or spotting. If you have been using your method correctly, pregnancy is unlikely. However, if you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, take a pregnancy test. Unless you test positive for pregnancy, continue to use your birth control method as directed.
