I take birth control pills. My doctor told me that I wouldn't have my period anymore, or very little. I still have my period every month.

It is normal for some women who take this contraceptive pill to experience a decrease or absence of their menstrual periods. This is not a cause for concern, as the pill is still effective in preventing pregnancy. It is important to take the pill at the same time every day without any breaks. If you happen to be more than 3 hours late in taking your pill, consult with your pharmacist on what to do next.
