The withdrawal bleeding is not regular menstruation. Birth control changes the hormones in your body and suppresses ovulation, therefore there's no egg that was released to cause menstruation. That's why Birth Control prevents pregnancy.

No, withdrawal bleeding is not menstruation.

Menstruation occurs as a result of an egg released during ovulation not being fertilised. Withdrawal bleeds are a result of the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive birth control pills (or the week break), there's no ovulation so there's no menstruation.
