How do I know if my pill is working? Since I switched to OPill (a mini pill) my period stopped and I no longer get nipple pain. Is this normal because I have heard of people still bleeding weeks after switching to it. I have been taking it at the same time everyday but I guess I’m just nervous since I’m not getting symptoms and switched to a mini pill after being on the combo pill since I’ve started taking birth control and I know they work differently.

Symptoms don't have anything to do with whether your pill is working

Your birth control of choice will be active once the amount of days it takes have passed. This can be found in your instructions. Once those days have passed you are protected, it’s got nothing to do with side effects, it’s just science. Just because X bled for weeks doesn’t mean you should too, that’s not how that works.
