Can the pill stop your period?

[Fruit Tingles]

I was waiting for my period to arrive so I could start taking the pill.

My period arrived on Sunday morning at 1am, and I started the pill on Monday morning. By Tuesday my period had completely stopped.

It was a weird period:

• It was shorter. My period usually goes for a week, this time it only went for 2 days, if that.
• It was lighter. It wasn't really a flow at all, it was just random spotting.
• It wasnt fresh blood, the spotting was mainly brown, with some pink spotting, but mainly brown. My periods are usually quite heavy for the first 3 days.
• There was absolutely no pain or cramping, usually I have horrible pain.
• I dont think that the pill can stop your period once it has started, and I wasn't even on the pill long enough for it to have an effect, right?

So what could be going on? This is not notmal for me, I usually only spot at the end of my period, never any other time.

I was on the pill as a teen from the age of 14 to the age of 17, same pill (monofeme) and this has NEVER happened to me.
