Yes they can, though the effect varies on the kind of pill you are taking.

In all cases, taking the pill obviously changes the timing of your period (you get them about 2-5 days after you start the placebo pills). Regarding how much or how painfull your period is, the newer generation of Birth Control pills tends to have either no effect, or reducing the amount of blood loss and cramps, and in some cases, no blood loss at all. Most women do not mind this side effect and it is not harmful.
