Hey all had my baby 11 weeks ago and still haven't had sex again yet as I had a difficult recovery and am only now starting to think we could at least try it and hope it will be ok! I have been prescribed cerrelle but haven't yet had a period since having my baby. Just wondered should I wait til I get my period just to know my body is working ok or just go ahead and start pill? Just feels weird starting without knowing everything is ok with my system if that makes sense?

Are you breastfeeding? It can delay your cycle for months. You can start the mini pill at any point in your cycle but would need extra precautions for the first 2 days of pill taking

I stopped bf 6 weeks after baby and still no period. Is this normal? I want to start the pill to get protection and at least attempt having sex again. But I also would like to know everything is ok with my period

Breast feeding has probably delayed it. You can either wait and use non hormonal contraception or start the mini pill now.
