Answers:
You don't have periods when on birth control pills. You have withdrawal bleeds. It may sound like it's just semantics, but it's an important distinction. Your endometrium has to grow under the influence of estrogen and mature under the influence of progestin, and when they're stopped, bleeding occurs. The pills you're taking may simply leave you with too little endometrial growth or too little maturation to shed. With the trend to minimizing estrogen dosages, it's more and more common to have no or irregular bleeding.
