Answers:
Well my period usually doesn't start until the day I'm supposed to take my last "fake" pill. From there it usually lasts about 5 days, including spotting! I agree, birth control doesn't necessarily make my period any shorter when you include the entire process. Thus, you're fine because I guess I'm the same way. =]Health Question & Answer
when I was on the pill my periods usually lasted about 4 days for me (and a lot of women so I hear) it usually stops when you start your new pack after the sugar pills are finished. Health Question & Answer
