edited August 2011 in Health

  • one week usally but i wait 2 just in case
  • Ugh...haha I don't want to wait!
  • It depends on when you started...check out the insert, it usually tells you what to do depending on when you started the bc and when you started your period...
  • My ob told me a month...
  • My doctor on base told me its effective after one week. But I have heard places say it can take as much as 3 months... I didnt get pregnant whenever I had sex after waiting a week :)
  • I was told 7 days by a nurse today. I don't know if I'll get a period...I'm breast feeding...my daughter is a little over a month old. I believe in the past I've only waited a week and never got pregnant.
