NSV or Not Good? (Maybe TMI?)

Hi All,
This is the first time that this has happened to me and while I can definately see it as an NSV, I am trying to figure out if it may be the opposite. I have been on BC for the past four years that has worked really well for a lot of my symptoms. I use to get periods about 8x a year, now I do every month. They use to be crazy heavy and long too (10 days of heavy bleeding). That went down to about 4-5 now.
The thing is, I am on day 4 of my period and without changing my pad for that time I could have still been on pad #1 (obviously I have changed it by flow is that light), whereas I typically would have been on pad 3-4 by now. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I honestly don't know if I should be worried that now all of a sudden my body is rejecting the BC and not caring that it is suppose to have a pseudo period or if I should rejoice that it is so little flow?
Thanks,
Monica

BC can cause you to have very light or even non-existent periods. It depends on the pill. The last pill I was on, I hardly ever had a period even though I was doing the withdrawal week (the four week of the pack). Not sure if that helps...0

Yeah, my periods were super super light when I was on the pill. Like, so light all I had to use was a pantyliner.0

I'm on Mircette and I have been the last five years or so. Mine is definitely much lighter than before. I think it's a blessing because compared to how I used to have to deal with that hellish nightmare once a month, I'll take this.
Don't fret... :flowerforyou:0
