My doctor gave me a prescription for the mini pill after the birth of my son on the 3rd of this month. On the prescription form I think I remember it saying to start taking them on the 18th of this month...I didn't start them because I hadn't had it filled yet, now that I have them, I read the instructions, and it said not to take them until 6 weeks postpartum if I'm breastfeeding. So my question is was it a typing mistake that said to start on 2-18-07 or did I just read it wrong, and it was acctually 3-18-07? (3-18 IS six weeks postpartum)

When I got on the mini pill after I had my first baby, I think I started taking it about 4 weeks PP, cause that's when I had my first PP period. I was breastfeeding also.

Thanks for your answer, I think I'm just going to wait 6 weeks to be safe. What can it hurt as long as we don't.....you know ;o)
