hi im on birth control and have been on it for almost a year. Ive never really had any problems with irregular periods on the pill until the last few months. My last period came after taking the second placebo pill and was very heavy compared to any other months. This month, ive taken four placebo pills and nothing yet. i had a little discolored discharge yesterday but thats about it. i have all the signs of my period like tender breasts and ive been a bit moody. i am very regular about taking my pill and take them at the same time every day and have never missed one. im about 99% sure im not pregnant and even took a home test to see if i was and it came out negative! im a little worried that i may not get my period this month because last months was so heavy, long and strong! is this healthy? am i going to be okay?

a little bit of answer would be greatly appreciated!! thank you!

Sometimes periods do change over time, even if you're on the pill.
