What Are The Effects Of Medicine Change From Brevinor To Noriday?
I have recently changed from a combined OCP (brevinor) to a mini pill (noriday), am currently onto my third consecutive cycle since starting with no period or spotting at all, I ve taken two pregnancy tests and both were negative. Just wondering if this is normal in some people not to have a period or any bleeding at all on the mini pill

Hello, OCP contains two hormones estrogen and progesterone whereas minipill has only progesterone. The most common side effect of minipill is irregular vaginal bleeding. Many do have delay in menstrual cycle. If you do not have other problems like back ache, flushes, weight gain or loss, nausea vomiting etc.then you can wait for a month or two for your body to adjust to new contraceptive.
