I have a 5 week old baby can i start back on my birth control pills now? i am not breastfeeding.

Yes: If your are not bedridden or immobilized, there is no reason not to restart your birth control pills. 50% of women who are not breastfeeding on demand start ovulating again within 4 weeks after delivery, so your risk of pregnancy occurs prior to restarting your periods. RESTART YOUR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS NOW.
