A member asked:
3 weeks postpartum when can i start birth control and when should my period start again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Now - unsure: It is safe to start birth control as soon as you like after your delivery. If you are breast feeding, there would be some limits on the specific type of birth control you should use. Safter a delivery, the cycles may resume in 6 to 8 weeks or it may take up to 6 months.
