A member asked:
After giving birth, how long before you can go on the pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually 4 weeks: Typically we recommend starting pills about a month after delivery, they can be started sooner, but some worry about the slight increased risk for blood clotting due to recent pregnancy.
