Dont have my period since i gave birth 7 mths.ago, planning to take minipill, when can i start taking if i haven't got my period back?pure breastfeeding

Start now: With the breast feeding it is unpredictable when your periods will return, but you will be fertile before that happens. You are best to get started on the minipill now. When you eventually stop breast feeding you can switch to a regular birth control pill for better cycle control.
