A member asked:

After having 1st period after childbirth doc put me on estelle 35 ed. i had sex after 9 hormone pills. i have had blood in cervical mucus since. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Post pregnancy: After taking oral contraceptives for nine days, your body is protected against pregnancy up to and effectiveness of approximately 96%. The bleeding is likely coming from changes the cervix and uterus are making after having had a baby. It's normal for women to have a regular feeding even to six months after delivery
