Actually, depending on what kind it can...yours shouldn't. Mine, thankfully does, haven't had a period in a year. I'm on Nueva Ring, it's so awesome.

Yes, birth control can stop your period. In fact, many women take the pill and only use the active hormone pills so that they can stop having periods for an extended time. When you are on hormonal birth control, you have a "period" when you take the sugar pills at the end of your pack of pills. This isn't a "real" period. It is simply bleeding brought on by the lack of hormone from your active birth control pills.If you have stopped bleeding altogether, talk to your doctor. It is possible to get pregnant on the pill. Or your pills may just be preventing you from having a period.
