What would the world be like without birth control?
Even more over-populated than it already is.
Far LESS populated. Due to barbaric homebake attempts at abortions killing maiming and sterilizing women, huge infant mortality rates, huge maternal mortality rates, a constant oversupply of males with no access to personal sex partners 'competing' to the death (wars, duels, fights, brawls, etc) for the few available mates, and massive epidemics of disease as 50+% of the male population is "served" by barren (infertile) prostitutes constituting 2-3% of the female population.
In other words, we'd have something sorta like... well not sorta like, but 100% exactly the European middle ages. Btw, Rome fell because of the collapse of the crop of a plant contraceptive - it drove up demand, the plant was harvested to absolute extinction as prices rose, and a society that suddenly lost control over its reproductive fate quickly reverted to barbaric feudalism, lost almost all trace of culture and civilization, and "went feral" - for about 1500 years.

Can the birth control pill cause a missed period?
You usually get your period when you start taking the sugar pills, but you can miss your period on the birth control pills for a number of reasons:
- Bleeding is supposed to be lighter when you are on the pill and last for a shorter period of time. Sometimes bleeding can be so light that it's absent or unnoticable. Some women find this helpful, and others find it disturbing. It is not dangerous, but if you find it stressful, talk with your health care provider about a possible pill change.
- Some birth control makes you have your period 3 or 4 times a year. If you don't know, do some research about your birth control or ask your health care provider.
- Not getting your period could obviously mean pregnancy. If you've missed pills, or if you have symptoms of pregnancy, take a home pregnancy test.
- If you threw away the placebo pills (sugar pills) and started your next pack immediately, skipping your periods is normal.
- If you're on the progesterone-only pill (e.g. Micronor or Nora-B), not having withdrawal bleeding is normal.
- There's no danger in starting the pill for the first time in between period, but it might increase the risk of having no withdrawal bleeding at the end of the first pack.
- If you missed a pill or two and then doubled up, you can have a late or missed period, even though you did the right thing.
To be accurate, you do not have periods while using combined birth control pills; instead, you have a withdrawal bleed because you're no longer putting the hormones in your body.
It shouldn't it should just regulate it.
