No. The pill are just hormones that control your cycle and if you haven't been on them a year they would have no direct cause for a miscarriage. Some thing other cause your miscarriage. See your doctor.

Can you skip a period while taking birth control?

Yes you can, with no increased risk of pregnancy or other complications, except for possible unscheduled bleeding or spotting. Skipping your period by starting the next pack early does not increase the risk of pregnancy, and may even decrease the risk. Just skip the sugar/placebo pills the last week and start a new pack of active pills and you won't get your period.

The "special" birth control pills for skipping periods are not special at all. They are just typical birth control pills that have been on the market for years, but were repackaged in a three-month package with eleven weeks of active pills and one week, of placebo pills instead of the typical three-and-one pattern. You can do this with any type of pill, although it's most effective with monophasic pills instead of those with three different hormone doses.

What is the difference between the white and green birth control pills?

The white pills are inactive hormones which is when you're off your period. And the green pills are active hormones and these you usually take when you are going through your period. But its still okay if you're not on you're period during the green pills cause the pills could make you a little bit late on you're period.
