Once you have a prescription for birth
control pills they are safe to start at
anytime, as long as you know for sure that
you are not pregnant. After seven days of
taking them correctly, you will be
protected from an unplanned pregnancy.
Unfortunately, there *can* be many side
effects to starting birth control, many of
which are like pms. It may cause you to
spot and have some break thru bleeding for
the first few months until your body
adjusts.
Congratulations on the baby girl!

When you get the pills from your ob-gyn,
someone should sit down with you and
discuss the side effects. If they try to
give you pills and send you on your way,
ask questions. Make them tell you the
side effects. There are a lot of side
effects and some of them actually are
serious. Even though the serious side
effects are rare, your doctor still should
make you aware of them.
Like mc4 said, you have to use another
form of birth control for at least the
first seven days of being on the pill to
let it fully get into your system. After
seven days, you can have sex without any
other method of birth control if you want.
Your doctor should also tell you that.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Your
doctor is the best person to get
information from. Your doctor has a
responsibility to tell you this stuff, but
many doctors try to rush people in and out
without making sure they understand
everything that they need to know.

That is 100% correct. After you leave the
doctor, if you have another question you
can also speak with your pharmacist. They
are very educated about side effects and
interactions. (and you don't have to wait
for them to call you back )
