Has anyone started the combined oral contraceptive pill after a c-section? If so how long did you leave it post partum? GP advised leaving it 6 weeks and it's been almost 8 weeks now. I have the pills but haven't taken them as I'm still a bit concerned about blood clots as the pill I usually take (Yasmin) is associated with a higher risk of clots that some others. I know pregnancy and surgery can increase the risk of a clot further. How long did others leave it? For various reasons I don’t want to take progesterone only pills as Yasmin helps me with other health issues too.
