You don't get periods while on hormonal Birth Control.

Hormonal birth control works by suppressing your menstrual cycles so you no longer ovulate, this is how it prevents pregnancy - if you don't ovulate it means you don't menstruate. The bleeding women get while on the pill is withdrawal bleeding, this is caused when you go from your active to inactive pills due to the change in hormones - this occurs roughly every 28 days due to the order in which you take the pills.
