Brief Answer:
You should wait

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query to

There is no concrete evidence or symptoms to know whether I pill worked or not.
After taking i-pill you need to wait and anticipate your next menstrual period at the expected time or within a week of the expected time.
In case your menstrual period is delayed beyond a week it is advisable to get a pregnancy test and consult with your doctor.

It is best to wait until you get the period (beginning of menstrual cycle) to start new birth control pill. Using it abruptly may cause irregular period.

All the best
