Birth control pills make you stop ovulating for the times it wants. You still menstruate when you take the "reminder pills". It's the lightest period you'll ever have and you'll want to know how you ever lived without them.

Birth-control pills contain hormones that prevent pregnancy. Combination pills contain the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. The "mini-pill" contains only progesterone. Birth-control pills: 1) prevent eggs from being released from the ovaries, 2) change the mucus in the cervix so sperm cannot easily enter the uterus, and/or 3) thin the lining of the uterus so the eggs cannot easily attach and stay inside the uterus.

You will typically still have a period during the 7 inactive pills. Unless you're using Seasonale...in which case you won't have a period for 3 months at a time.

The pill works by (A) preventing ovulation; (B) thinning the uterine lining; (C) tricking the body into thinking it's already pregnant; (D) making the cervical mucus inhospitable to sperm.
