How long after you gave birth did you get your first period?
 
i think i bleed till 4 weeks and had a rather odd period at 6 weeks. it was next to nothing & no pain.

back to normal now though :x


are you breast feeding? that can effect your periods.

no i failed at breast feeding so that shouldnt be a factor. and like you i bled till 4/5 weeks. but i havent had nothing since
 
I bled for 1 week after Nathan was born then nothing at all till 11 weeks and I think I only bled then cos I had gone on the pill a few days before.

they say im not allowed to start on my pill again until ive got my first period :( thats why im asking
 
Well the doctor said to me thats only ment to be to make sure your not pregnant before you start the pill. As I knew I wasn't she said it was fine as long as i waited the 7 days till I was covered by it.

well im pretty positive im not either, so should it be okay to start it now? but just wait the 7 days?

which pill are you on?
 
i am having my first period now, its very heavy and full of clots. (luke is 12 weeks old)

i went on the pill at nearly 9 weeks and i hadn't had a period since having luke, my GP said it was my choice if i wanted to wait or not so i didn't, i'm not sure why you are supposed to wait for a period. :think:
 
Yeah you should be fine to start taking it now as long as you wait the 7 days. If you have any doubt you could always to a test just to make sure.
I'm on Noriday.
 
Mine still haven't restarted and Ellie is now 9months but I am breast feeding. I did have a bit of bleeding a couple of weeks ago but it only last for 1 day, and was not painful at all. I am wondering if that is possibly my first but I will find out as time goes on.
 
6 weeks after having abigail and tia and 8 weeks after having jordan
 
I bled for 4 weeks after having Brody and haven't had a period yet. :D
The dr gave me the mini pill and said I can start taking it whenever I want but wait the 7 days!
 
its started now :D never thought id be this happy about it :rotfl:

ive got my first one now.. and its fairly light... but im now on day 14 :shock: ( i started taking the pill at the start of this af)
 
This time it was 7 days and its usually only 4. After I had Aimee my 1st one lasted 2 weeks. They are also a lot heavier than before.
