Period onset ?: After delivery, and if not nursing, your regular period is generally only 6-8 weeks later. If you did nurse your son, your period will be delayed accordingly. If pregnancy is possible after your delivery, get a serum HCG test to be certain, and consult your gyn physician for oral bcp's if negative and there are no contraindications to "the pill".
