On*

Certain birth controls like depo stop the regular cycle so there is no blood to go anywhere. You dont ovulate. Your body doesn't go through the normal phases

That’s why I’m asking because in all birth control pills of course blood clots are higher chance but it says something in the pill also helps prevent blood clots

Bc messed with my period. Everyone is different. It lightened it up but it would still be irregular until I was on it for over two years. Different forms can stop the period all together but the traditional pill doesn't typically do that

Most you still have a period. Some you don’t. The ones that you don’t, there is no blood. The “sloughing” process doesn’t happen

I was just on the pill. I think the depo shot makes you not have a regular period..

and lighter too..

it actually made mine shorter..and yes, it was regular. same time each month.

I'm not on BC, but I was from the age of 17 on to 24..I never had any symptoms other than moodiness.

birth control prevents ovulation..you can still have your period while on it.
