Hello, I am 5 weeks postpartum, my gynecologist has prescribed me the contraceptive pill Ovulan, can I take the pill if I have not yet had my first menstrual period after giving birth? Do you have to wait until menstruation? The doctor didn't inform me

Since more than 21 days have passed since delivery, pregnancy should be excluded and an additional method of contraception should be used for the first week before starting use.
Before starting the first blister should be performedcheckedis gestational. If the result is negative, you can start taking Ovulan without waiting for your period, but protection will only be provided in the 2nd week of taking the tablets.
Here you can compare the prices of popular pregnancy tests and order the test for home delivery or pick-up at the pharmacy.
