Is it normal while on the birth control pill for bleeding to become light and barely there on period days?

Last month I got my period on a Monday and it was super light brown/pinkish blood and it persisted for about 4-5 days but it was super light and barely there (it didn't even fill the tampon). [at first i read this could be implantation bleeding but it was during my period week and i took an HPT a week later and it came back negative).

Now I just got my period again this Monday and it wasn't visible until I wiped and now Monday's tampon barely had anything on it.

I'm freaked out. Is this normal? I've been on the pill since December 2010 and I'm really confused.

Hello it sounds to me that the pill is working great for you, it does make periods a lot lighter and a lot less painful..so it sounds like a normal reaction to me, it will have taken a few months to get into your system thats why its started happening now, its a good thing, no more heavy painful periods, my love.
Don't worry.
