A member asked:

I recieved rhogam shot after a miscarriage at 5 wks last tues because i am o-. not ready to try and conceive. how soon can start birth control pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need a neg preg test: i'm sorry you miscarried. you may start birth control as soon as you have a negative pregnancy test. that may be as soon as 2 weeks after a miscarriage. ask your doctor for a blood test or a urine test.
