Hormonal birth contro works by suppressing your menstrual cycle so you no longer ovulate, thus you no longer menstruate - the bleeding women get while on the pill is a withdrawal bleed rather than menstruation. Withdrawal bleeds can be lighter than menstrual bleeds because one way in which the pill works to prevent pregnancy, on top of stopping ovulation, is to prevent secondary uterus lining build-up so if an egg was fertilised it couldn't implant - thinner uterus lining means less blood loss during a bleed.
The Birth Control pill can make your period so light that it virtually disappears. Chlamydia or treatment chlamydia don't make your period lighter.
