Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
If you are using birth control pills for a long time then there can be possibility of decreased menstrual flow.
Success rate of birth control pills is 99% if you are taking it regularly.
However if still you are having doubt get your serum-beta HCG test done that is a confirmatory test to rule out pregnancy.
I hope your query has been answered. I will be available for your further queries.
