New Here!! Started Aviane 3wks After Pregnancy Loss. Posted: 10-09-06 18:41pm
Hello all. I'm new here. I recently lost
my lil girl @18wks 3days. I delivered her
vaginally and she lived for 5 hours. 3wks
after, I had my pp check w/dr. He
prescribed me aviane to start on if I
wanted to prevent pregnancy. When I got
it, I read the handout and it said to
start on the first day of your period, but
the dr just told me I can start as soon as
I get it. The thing is, I started that
sunday I got it and didn't stop bleeding
until today, which makes 6wks 1day
postpartum. Me and dh have had sex with
no condoms starting 1wk ago, since I was
only spotting and bleeding very lightly.
Do I still have to take the inactive pills
since I still don't know when I started or
if I started a period and when to expect
one? Or could I have still gotten
pregnant? I'm not worried all to much if
I did get pregnant again, I think I was
having mixed feelings when I got the pill
in the first place. But if i'm not, then
i'm still okay. If things don't go the
way they're planned, I won't be bummed.
If god wants it to happen, then it will
happen whether I like it or not. Just
like when he called upon my little girl.
Well, I hope someone can help me. It
would help a lot. Thanks.

If you start bc pills on the first day of
a period then you are covered straight
away, if you start them at any other time
(which is fine to do) then you need to
abstain or use a back method (condoms) for
7 days.
Typically women find they are more fertile
just after giving birth or having a
miscarriage.
So yes you are at a risk of pregnancy, but
the only way to be sure is to call your
doctor/gyn and get checked out, as a home
pregnancy test may well still show you as
pregnant because of the hormone levels.

Okay okay..I went to my 2pp f/u yesterday
and took a urine test to check if I was
pregnant. It came out negative, but he
said that it could still be early for it
to show, so retest in another 3wks or if I
don't get my period in one month. I asked
if there was still a chance to get
pregnant even though I was still bleeding,
and he said yeah. Even though I didn't
use backup method 2wks after starting the
pill. He also said that I could be
starting my period this week, which is
when I should be on the inactive pills...I
haven't stopped bleeding since I gave
birth and that's why the dr isn't sure
whether it's my period or that i'm still
bleeding postpartum. I'll have to still
continue taking the bc pills and if I
don't get my period next month, then take
a hpt and call him if it's positive!! So
I guess i'm going to have to wait a long
time.....Thanks for the replies.
