No this is perfectly normal. The way birth control pills work, is they are estrogen or progesterone. When a woman is pregnant the levels of these hormones increase.

As the estrogen in your body decreases your body realizes that is not pregnant and sloughs off the lining of the uterus (your period) as it would normally.
