Not saying it can't happen or it doesn't happen but usually it's a sign for alarm. If your body hasn't adjusted to the hormones yet it could be just spotting. Sometimes other women starting their period will cause you to spot as well. Just to be safe it might be wise to take a pregnancy test.

When using oral contraceptives, your body is tricked into thinking it is pregnant, ceasing your period. When the 'placebo' pills are taken, bleeding similar to a period will occur. When taking birth control, you can completely eliminate your period or it can be as long as desired.

Sometimes women are actually prescribed oral birth control to help with unusually heavy periods. So, yes, taking birth control can reduce the length of your period as well as the amount of flow. That said, any change in your bodies norms is something to note and watch. It is always best to consult with your gyn.

Yes it is. Any kind of birth control can change your period from having it one day to having for 3 weeks straight. It just depends on how your body reacts to that certain type of birth control.
