I think what you're referring to is the Birth Control pill. Doctors sometimes prescribe the birth control pill to women who have irregular periods in order to help get their periods regular.
There is no specific pill out there strictly for periods, unless you are thinking of Midol which is used to combat PMS symptoms like cramps.
Is it normal to get period cramps while on the pill?
A sugar pill is what women take to start their period. It allows the period to start.
Your period should not be delayed from missing a single pill.
If you're already on your period then the pill may reduce the flow of your period but will not stop it. However if you're not on your period you can stop your period by taking the pill but it isn't advisable as a permanent thing.
No
You start taking the pill at the end of your period, and then, yes you will not have a period again until the break in the pill.
After stopping the pill, your next period will come in 4-6 weeks, and will soon return to its previous pattern, as it was before you were on the pill.
No, continue taking the pill as scheduled.
No. You get a period with/without the pill. All the pill does is protect you from getting pregnant.
Keep taking the normal pill and you won't get your period.. Skip the sugar pills completely.
No. My girlfriend is on the pill, and sometimes does not get her period at all. A light period is just a sign that the pill is working, so do not be worried.
Your are suppose to start the birth control pill the Sunday after your period. If you haven't had a period its best to take a pregnancy test to make sure your not pregnant. If you test is negative then you can go to your gyne doctor and they can give you a pill to start your period.
