Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
The symptoms you mentioned can be present in patients who take oral contraception pills. The hormones in the pill cause suppression of the endometrium and then it causes a light period and little or absent pain.
With continued use the endometrium may become extremely thin due to suppression and cause light period or absent period.
If you are sure about the fact that you didn't miss a pill then you can continue the same as before.
If you had missed as pill or taken it delayed then please do a pregnancy test before the start of next pack.
Hope this was helpful.
Please write back with any questions.

Thanks
Dr Bhagyashree
