is this birth control working?
ive been on birth control for awhile now..maybe almost a year or a little less? but nothing seems different im still having my normal periods for about 7 days at the regular times. does this mean if i ever have sex that its not gonna be effective? or how do you know if your taking birth control that it is working. because my mom always asks if my periods are any different and im like nooope. and shes like jeeze maybe its not working! but i know she wont make an appointment with the doctor to talk about it so i was just wondering what you all thought.

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
As long as you are following the instructions on the packet, and you are not taking antibiotics, then they should be working fine. (Antibiotics work against the effectiveness of the pill).
They are designed to give you regular periods of approximately three weeks period free and one week of period. It works in a 28 day cycle so there should be no reason not to trust it.
If you are at all concerned you are old enough to go and see a doctor yourself.
On a further note, should you decide to start having sex then it would be wise to use a condom in conjunction with the pill - this will protect against STDs etc. All the best.
