Hey ladies, well yesterday I went for landon's checkup, aswell as mine. Im all healed up and landon is good and healthy and is exactly 10 pounds, and will be 10 weeks on monday. So I think thats pretty good. Anyways, my doc. Gave me a prescription for birthcontrol (alesse) and he said its safe while breastfeeding. He gave me a year supply wuwho lol anyways, I forgot to ask him when to start taking it. Cuz I havent' even gotten my period yet, so ..Should I wait til I get my period..Or..Call nurse?

You can start right away but you will need to use a back up for the first 7 days (condoms for example).
