I recently started taking trisprintec birth control pills. I know that when I start taking the white pills (the last pills of the pack; the 'fake' pills), I should be getting my period. But I'm just wondering, is a period on the pill the same thing as a regular period off the pill? Pills stop you from ovulating; so wouldn't it be different? If it is different then what causes the bleeding?
I'm just a little confused; if someone could explain it to me I'd be grateful.

You asked a common question...
The bleeding on birth control is not a 'real' period, it is simply "A withdrawal bleed" from the lack of hormones. THE VERY first birth control pills did not have a period week, and women did not like that because it did not seem natural, so they added a period week. The period on brith control is simply a withdrawal bleed.

so what is a withdrawal bleed? do you still get it, if by chance you become pregnant?
pregnancy is kind of a fear of mine; I like being reassured once a month lol.
thanks a lot for replying by the way.

If you were pregnant you would most likely not have a NORMAL withdrawal bleed/ Period, just like if you were not on the pill...
